Der Wald: Scene 3

I dare not leave you here alone

'Tis far to the village, the priest must wait

Fear not for me

Go, I will not

The priest has much to ask you

And why should you stay?

I dare not leave you alone

Alone

Heinrich will be there

His bride to guard!

If so, 'tis well!

Farewell! My path lies through the wood

I long to meet the fair Iolanthe

If that be your road, then go with God!

And you, child, stay within till Heinrich comes

I soon shall return

Sancta Maria Mater Dei

Ora pro nobis peccatoribus

Ora pro nobis

Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae
