SCENE III. -- PRECIOSA'S chamber. She stands at the open window.
Prec. How slowly through the lilac-scented air / Descends the tranquil moon! Like thistle-down / The vapory clouds float in the peaceful sky; / And sweetly from yon hollow vaults of shade / The nightingales breathe out their souls in song. / And hark! what songs of love, what soul-like sounds, / Answer them from below!
