The Sorcerer/Second verse of Constance's aria

The Sorcerer by W. S. Gilbert Second verse of Constance's aria

This verse was cut from the libretto in 1920s. In 1960s it was returned and is sung on 1966 D'Oyly Carte recording.

Constance

When I rejoice,   He shows no pleasure. When I am sad,   It grieves him not. His solemn voice   Has tones I treasure — My heart they glad,   They solace my unhappy lot! When I despond,   My woe they chasten — When I take heart,   My hope they cheer; With folly fond   To him I hasten — From him apart,   My life is very sad and drear!
