LUCIA
[Singing at her window]
Ask me my all with a look of thine eyes.
A blush replies,
Yes.
Heart and whatever soever be mine,
Not less
Is thine.
Thou art sunflooded and infinite sky
And I
A little star lost far away
Down the day.
[Singing as she descends]
Thou art the branches unwindily stirred,
I, a bird
Who tire from seas of the west
To thy breast.
