The Falcon

SCENE VIII.

Guillaume brings two baskets of fruit covered with vine leaves; he places them on the ground.

Ah, Madam, you really should see our orchard. It is well maintained. Ah, it is a pretty orchard. There is an arbor so cool, so dark...

Is that your orchard?

Yes, Madam, the door is open. Ah, do not fear that anyone will disturb you there. No one ever enters here. To Eleonore. Stay with me, stay.

You may wait here. When Lord Frédéric appears, you will come to join me.

SCENE IX.

I do not know what I feel
Seeing you, Eleonore;
But it is a turmoil in my senses;
But it is a pleasure that devours.
I have certainly seen blossoming charms,
Roses that had just bloomed,
I have seen girls of fifteen
More beautiful than the fair dawn,
I had the greatest pleasure;
Well, I did not have as much
As in seeing you, Eleonore.
