KAREN and MOGENS.<br />

The harp's tone dies, she stammers out her answer:<br />

KAREN.<br />

"Hush! Hush! Hush! I am not your bride!<br />

The wave is cold, it quenches love."<br />

BOTH.<br />

The wave is cold, it quenches love.<br />

KAREN.<br />

Sorrowfully he wanders away from the mounta<strong>in</strong>,<br />

He searches for peace <strong>in</strong> the elf-thicket,<br />

Wanders alone there by the spr<strong>in</strong>g-world,<br />

In the blue, moon-clear night.<br />

KAREN and MOGENS.<br />

There he keeps watch silently, and weaves his <strong>net</strong>s,<br />

Wrapp<strong>in</strong>g so many <strong>in</strong>nocent children <strong>in</strong> his embrace.<br />

KAREN.<br />

Hush! Hush! Hush! He is certa<strong>in</strong>ly near us!<br />

He has heard everyth<strong>in</strong>g concealed beh<strong>in</strong>d his trees.<br />

BOTH.<br />

He has heard everyth<strong>in</strong>g concealed beh<strong>in</strong>d his trees.<br />

(The dance comes to an end.)<br />
