After the Tryst
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
