Lyrics

Vasquez: A guard by night, a guide by day,

Upon the mountain wild,

The sacred sign protects the way,

And saints watch o’er the child.

Rita: Oh! Tell me, will he see my love?

Vasquez: Thy lover he will not see,

Place all thy trust in Heav’n above

Pray Heaven set thee free!

Rita: I’ll place my trust in Heav’n above,

Pray Heaven set me free!

I only beg one grace,

Once more to see his face;

If never more, if never more,

Why then, be death my choice!

Vasquez: Rita!

Rita: My name!

Vasquez: Dear Rita!

Rita: ’Tis his voice!

I cannot see, I hope,

I faint with fear.

Vasquez!

Vasquez: Dear Rita!

Rita: Vasquez!

Vasquez: I am here!

Both: My love, again to see thee

Dispels the falling tear,

He comes, he comes to free me!

(Yes, I am here to free thee;)

Ah, why then should I fear?

(Then banish all thy fear.)

Rita: A prison with you is no prison for me.

Vasquez: For the moments too fleet,

That are shar’d love, with thee!

Both: When the sun brightly rises o’er hill, dale, and lea,

There’s hope in the morrow, yes, then we’ll be free!
