THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE.
Bridget Bruin.
That would be sacrilege!
The Child.
The tortured thing!
Hide it away.
Maurteen Bruin.
Her parents are to blame.
Father Hart.
That is the image of the Son of God.
[The Child puts her arm round his neck lovingly and kisses him.
The Child.
Hide it away! Hide it away!
Maurteen Bruin.
No! no!
Father Hart.
Because you are so young and little a child
I will go take it down.
The Child.
Hide it away,
And cover it out of sight and out of mind.
