Let Others Seek

Up
He Will Return
Wake Gentle Maiden
From Rock to Rock
Let Others Seek

 

With Peter captured and hailed as the new Chieftain (and the bridegroom of the formidable Inez de Roxas) she now sails into this powerful contralto solo . . .

Let Others Seek

Let others seek the peaceful plain,
Amid the mountains let me reign;
Be mine the  rugged crest,
Be mine the eagle's nest,
High in the ancient hills of Spain,
Be mine the  rugged crest,
Be mine the eagle's nest,
High in the ancient hills of Spain,
High in the ancient hills of Spain.

Be mine the man who bears the knife,
Who for my smile would risk his life:
I'll take his manly hand,
And by his side I'll stand,
For I will be to him a loving wife,
I'll take his manly hand,
And by his side I'll stand,
For I will be to him a loving wife,
For I will be to him a loving wife.

Fierce, medieval stuff, isn't it? Still, it made for a good bit of musical fun. Hope you enjoyed singing along with Arthur and Francis . . .
