Finale Act 1 1915 'A Maid And A Myth'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 May 2005

[Constance:] What can I say now
to thank you for you've saved my life.
[Stewart:] None but the brave deserve the fair,
the girl shall be your wife
[Chorus:] None but the brave deserve the fairest,
she'll be his wife
[Stewart:] What say you my daughter,
look at this my daughter.

[Constance:] To you a girl's love is a thing you can play with,
it's only a bauble to pass time away with.
[Chorus:] She seems to be lost in the maze of a dream,
it's a wonderful dream of love.
[Constance:] My senses are reeling,
the feeling comes stealing
that this wonderful waltz meant goodbye

Oh, no he does not love me
I fear he does not love me
Sir Geoffrey, you have saved my life,
take it I'll gladly be your wife.

Sweetheart, I'm going to make you mine
I'm going to lock you in my heart some day
brightly the sun will shine
when these threatening clouds of doubt
have rolled away.
[Chorus:] Someday, my sweetheart mine you'll be
then you'll be sorry
for the things you have believed of me.
For I know, you'll be true,
I'll be true to you.
Then I'll make you mine some day.

[Stewart:] Now come my host bestir yourself,
bring forth the best you have,
prepare for us a wonderous fete,
bid all be there the small and great,
we'll have a sumptuous banquet here
I say spare no expense,
the best you have is none too good,
Hivam Stewart's child.

Now come my host bestir yourself,
bring forth the best you have,
prepare for us a wonderous fete,
bid all be there the small and great,
we'll have a sumptuous banquet here
I say spare no expense,
the best you have is none too good...

[Curtain:]
