Sandoval You loved the daughter of Don Manrique	A
Earl Henry Loved	B
Sandoval Did you not say you wooed her	C
Earl Henry Once I loved	B
Her whom I dared not woo	D
Sandoval And wooed perchance	E
One whom you loved not	F
Earl Henry Oh I were most base	G
Not loving Oropeza True I wooed her	C
Hoping to heal a deeper wound but she	H
Met my advances with impassioned pride	I
That kindled love with love And when her sire	C
Who in his dream of hope already grasped	J
The golden circlet in his hand rejected	K
My suit with insult and in memory	H
Of ancient feuds poured curses on my head	L
Her blessings overtook and baffled them	M
But thou art stern and with unkindly countenance	N
Art inly reasoning whilst thou listenest to me	H
Sandoval Anxiously Henry reasoning anxiously	H
But Oropeza	O
Earl Henry	H
Blessings gather round her	C
Within this wood there winds a secret passage	P
Beneath the walls which opens out at length	Q
Into the gloomiest covert of the garden	R
The night ere my departure to the army	H
She nothing trembling led me through that gloom	S
And to that covert by a silent stream	T
Which with one star reflected near its marge	U
Was the sole object visible around me	H
No leaflet stirred the air was almost sultry	H
So deep so dark so close the umbrage o'er us	V
No leaflet stirred yet pleasure hung upon	W
The gloom and stillness of the balmy night air	X
A little further on an arbour stood	Y
Fragrant with flowering trees I well remember	C
What an uncertain glimmer in the darkness	V
Their snow white blossoms made thither she led me	H
To that sweet bower Then Oropeza trembled	Z
I heard her heart beat if 'twere not my own	A2
Sandoval A rude and scaring note my friend	B2
Earl Henry Oh no	C2
I have small memory of aught but pleasure	C
The inquietudes of fear like lesser streams	D2
Still flowing still were lost in those of love	E2
So love grew mightier from the fear and Nature	C
Fleeing from pain sheltered herself in joy	F2
The stars above our heads were dim and steady	H
Like eyes suffused with rapture Life was in us	V
We were all life each atom of our frames	G2
A living soul I vowed to die for her	C
With the faint voice of one who having spoken	R
Relapses into blessedness I vowed it	H2
That solemn vow a whisper scarcely heard	I2
A murmur breathed against a lady's ear	J2
Oh there is joy above the name of pleasure	C
Deep self possession an intense repose	K2
Sandoval with a sarcastic smile No other than as eastern sages paint	L2
The God who floats upon a lotos leaf	M2
Dreams for a thousand ages then awaking	A
Creates a world and smiling at the bubble	N2
Relapses into bliss	O2
Earl Henry Ah was that bliss	O2
Feared as an alien and too vast for man	P2
For suddenly impatient of its silence	N
Did Oropeza starting grasp my forehead	L
I caught her arms the veins were swelling on them	M
Through the dark bower she sent a hollow voice	Q2
Oh what if all betray me what if thou '	R2
I swore and with an inward thought that seemed	S2
The purpose and the substance of my being	A
I swore to her that were she red with guilt	T2
I would exchange my unblenched state with hers	U2
Friend by that winding passage to that bower	C
I now will go all objects there will teach me	H
Unwavering love and singleness of heart	V2
Go Sandoval I am prepared to meet her	C
Say nothing of me I myself will seek her	C
Nay leave me friend I cannot bear the torment	W2
And keen inquiry of that scanning eye	X2
	-
Earl Henry retires into the wood	Y
	-
Sandoval alone O Henry always striv'st thou to be great	Y2
By thine own act yet art thou never great	Y2
But by the inspiration of great passion	R
The whirl blast comes the desert sands rise up	Z2
And shape themselves from earth to heaven they stand	A3
As though they were the pillars of a temple	N2
Built by Omnipotence in its own honour	C
But the blast pauses and their shaping spirit	B3
Is fled the mighty columns were but sand	A3
And lazy snakes trail o'er the level ruins	C3
