In the Light of the Virgin Morning

BLANCHE: In the light of the virgin morning I look out through a misty haze The estate has an ancient beauty Mother must appraise As I stroll through the pinks and roses As I savour the columbine I am grateful for all he is And what will one day all be mine The perfect plan If only I could love the man But I'm not quite sure I can JANE: In the light of the virgin morning In the shade of the chestnut tree If I leave this unhappy bliss Where will my Eden be? For I'll miss this enchanted garden Watching leaves as they turn to brown BLANCHE: We will sell the estate, of course And we will move to town JANE (BLANCHE) This is my fate What more do I deserve? (We'll be admired and praised) I mustn't stay What purpose would it serve? (I'll know what happiness is) He doesn't need me (happiness is) His heart is blinded (When I am his) Where will I go? What star will light my way? (I'll be the star in his night) This is my home (And I will shine) oh God above I pray The rock of ages will show me mercy (As a bride by his side) In the light of the virgin morning (In the light of the virgin morning) I am cursed in my hope of heaven (I am blessed in my hope of heaven) For I know I will always (For I know I will come to) Love him (Love him)
