Dulcinea

(Smiling sill keeping his eyes averted)
Ah sweet sovereign of my captive heart I shall
not fail thee for I know.

I have dreamed thee too long
Never seen thee or touched thee
But known thee with all of my heart
Half a prayer half a song
Thou hast always been with me
Though we have been always apart.

Dulcinea Dulcinea
I see heaven when I see thee Dulcinea
And thy name is like a prayer
An angel whispers Dulcinea Dulcinea!

If I reach out to thee
Do not tremble and shrink
From the touch of my hand on thy hair
Let my fingers but see
Thou art warm and alive
And no phantom to fade in the air.

Dulcinea Dulcinea
I have sought thee sung thee
Dreamed thee Dulcinea!

Now I've found thee
And the world shall know thy glory
Dulcinea Dulcinea!

(The scene reverts to the prison where Cervantes tells of Don Quixote's family and friends who are worried about his mental state)
