(recitative)
Then, what I saw was... horrible!
monsterous!
worse than a dream... unbelievable!
(arioso)
It was a thing begun in beauty
I should have been the one she held...
tightly his arms consumed her breathing,
took her surrender,
as I watched helplessly.
Crushing a dream cherished by me,
and killed so carelessly...
(aria)
Should love so tenderly, begun in ecstasy, continue hopelessly in lonely pride?
My heart was given once forever, ever,
forever to stay...
in love so tenderly
treasured in ecstasy,
remaining constantly
a light to guide...
Love where it must return,
always burns, in my heart!
