After the Tryst
 (Sung text for setting by V. Duke)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
Morn will dawn, maidens will ponder:
“Thou must fain have kissed fragrant jasmine,
With tepid milk laved and refreshed thee,
All night slumbered gently and serenely,
That, like dawn, thou glowest with beauty!”
“Nay,” I’ll murmur,
“Love has called on me and blessed me.”
Russian version in Duke's score

    Set to music by Vernon Duke (1903 - 1969), as Vladimir Dukelsky, "After the Tryst", published 1944, copyright © 1944 [ voice and piano ], from Three Chinese Songs, no. 2
