doyly carte opera company – climbing over rocky mountain lyrics
chorus and solos: climbing over rocky mountain
girls: climbing over rocky mountain,
skipping rivulet and fountain,
p-ssing where the willows quiver,
p-ssing where the willows quiver
by the ever-rolling river,
swollen with the summer rain, the summer rain
threading long and leafy mazes
dotted with unnumbered daisies,
dotted, dotted with unnumbered daisies,
scaling rough and rugged p-sses,
climb the hardy little l-sses,
till the bright sea-sh-r- they gain;
scaling rough and rugged p-sses,
climb the hardy little l-sses,
till the bright sea-sh-r- they gain!
edith: let us gaily tread the measure,
make the most of fleeting leisure,
hail it as a true ally,
though it perish by-and-by.
girls: hail it as a true ally,
though it perish by-and-by.
edith: every moment brings a treasure
of its own especial pleasure;
though the moments quickly die,
greet them gaily as they fly,
greet them gaily as they fly.
girls: though the moments quickly die,
greet them gaily as they fly.
kate: far away from toil and care,
revelling in fresh sea-air,
here we live and reign alone
in a world that’s all our own.
here, in this our rocky den,
far away from mortal men,
we’ll be queens, and make decrees–
they may honour them who please.
girls: we’ll be queens, and make decrees–
they may honour them who please.
let us gaily tread the measure, etc.
kate: what a picturesque spot! i wonder where we are!
edith: and i wonder where papa is. we have left him
ever so far behind.
isabel: oh, he will be here presently! remember poor
papa is not as young as we are, and we came over a
rather difficult country.
kate: but how thoroughly delightful it is to be so
entirely alone! why, in all probability we are the
first human beings who ever set foot on this enchanting
spot.
isabel: except the mermaids– it’s the very place for
mermaids.
kate: who are only human beings down to the waist–
edith: and who can’t be said strictly to set foot
anywhere. tails they may, but feet they cannot.
kate: but what shall we do until papa and the servants
arrive with the luncheon?
edith: we are quite alone, and the sea is as smooth as
gl-ss. suppose we take off our shoes and stockings and
paddle?
all: yes, yes! the very thing! (they prepare to carry,
out the suggestion. they have all taken off one shoe,
when frederic comes forward from cave.)
