Recitative and Air from Orpheus

Gluck.

Dearest Consort! Eurydice!

My companion!
Ah! She hears not my voice, she'll return ne'er again!
I myself have death upon her brought!
More than ever am I o'eriaden with grief that's more than boundless!
Now in this awful hour naught doth remain
But death, the balm of sorrow.
Ah! I've lost my Eurydice,
AU my happiness I mourn,
Why on earth abide then longer?
Wretched fate that I was born!
Eurydice! 0 give answer, 0 but hear me!
My heart is thine, beats ever for thee!
Ah! I've lost, etc.
Eurydice! Vain endeavor!
Hope and joy are gone forever,
I'll no longer find them here!
Alt! I've lost, etc.

Scena from Odysseus.

Max Bruck.

Thou far-darting Sun,

Must thy light divine wake me yet once again?
At the gates of dreams I was slumb'ring,
Why have the gods sent me griefs without measure?
I of women the most am bereft, and still my woes are increasing;
They first took from me, for fate most inglorious,
My lord, my consort, true, lion-hearted.
The chief in virtue amongst the Achalans!
And now, my son well-belov'd evil tempests have snatched from my side!
Alas, I knew not the hour he went forth to seek his dear father!
My soul for his sake is troubled, I tremble
Lest any harm o'er him hath been fated!
Return, thou my solace!
My heart's delight!
Last pledge of sweet hope to thy mother forlorn!
Oh, Atrytona!
Daughter of all-subduing 'Ironton!
If Odysseus hath e'er burnt in his palace an off'rIng to thee,
Oh, now recall his good deed!
Save my blameless, dear-cherish'd son,
From the insolent suitors at home,
From the threatening tempests yonder!
Oh, now remember his deeds,
Atrytona, save, oh, save my belov'd only son.
And thou, Helios, fountain of light,
Doth thy all-seeing eye in its course still behold
My Odysseus a dweller among mortals?
Graciously lead him with counselling band!
Oh, to this sorrowing heart restore him,
Give back its king this sorrowing land!
