Pelléas.
It is the wind that suddenly became silent. It has fallen while we were kissing.
Melisande.
How long our shadows are to-night…
Pelléas.
They enfold each other to the end of the garden. Oh, they embrace each other far from us! Look, look!
Melisande (with muffled voice).
A-a-h!— He is behind a tree!
Pelléas.
Who?
Melisande.
Golaud!
Pelléas.
Golaud? Where? I see nothing…
Melisande.
There…at the end of our shadows…
Pelléas.
Yes, yes; I saw him… Do not let us turn around suddenly…
Melisande.
He has his sword.
Pelléas.
I have not mine…
Melisande.
He could see that we were embracing.
Pelléas.
He does not know that we have seen him… Do not move; do not turn your head… He would precipitate himself… He watches us… He is still immovable …Go away, go off at once this way… I will await… I will stop him…
Melisande.
No, no, no!…
Pelléas.
Go away, go away. He has seen all! He will kill us!…
Melisande.
All the better! all the better! all the better!
Pelléas.
He is coming, he is coming!… Your mouth…your mouth!…
Melisande.
Yes… Yes… Yes!…
(They kiss one another wildly.)
Pelléas.
Oh, oh! all the stars are falling!…
Melisande.
On me, too, on me too!…
Pelléas.
All, all, all!…
Melisande (flying).
Oh, oh! I have not the courage!… I have not the courage!…
