A room in a cottage. Lilia on her knees before a crucifix. Her back only is seen, for the Poet dares not look on her face. On a chair beside her lies a book, open at Chapter VIII. Behind her stands an Angel, bending forward, as if to protect her with his wings partly expanded. Appear Julian, with Lily in his arms. Lily looks with love on the angel, and a kind of longing fear on her mother.
Julian: Angel, thy part is done; leave her to me.
