THE DARK CHAMBER
27

Enter a band of Men, singing

Song

My beloved is ever in my heart
That is why I see him everywhere,
He is in the pupils of my eyes
That is why I see him everywhere.
I went far away to hear his own words,
But, ah, it was vain!
When I came back I heard them
In my own songs.
Who are you who seek him like a beggar from door to door!
Come to my heart and see his face in the tears of my eyes!

Enter Heralds and Advance Guards of the King

First Herald

Stand off! Get away from the street, all of you!
