Excerpt: ...for I am here; And I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee! NAAMAN: What voice is that? The silence of my tomb Is broken by a ray of music, --whose? RUAHMAH: Rising. The one who loves thee best in all the world. NAAMAN: Why that should be, --O dare I dream it true? Tsarpi, my wife? Have I misjudged thy heart As cold and proud? How nobly thou forgivest! Thou com'st to hold me from the last disgrace, -- The coward's flight into the dark. Go back Unstained, my sword! Life is endurable While there is one alive on earth who loves us, RUAHMAH: My lord, --my lord, --O listen! You have erred, -- You do mistake me now, --this dream-- NAAMAN: Ah, wake me not! For I can conquer death Dreaming this dream. Let me at last believe, Though gods are cruel, a woman can be kind. Grant me but this! For see, --I ask so little, -- Only to know that thou art faithful, -- Only to lean upon the thought that thou, My wife, art near me, though I touch thee not, -- O this will hold me up, though it be given From pity more than love. RUAHMAH: Trembling, and speaking slowly. Not so, my lord! My pity is a stream; my pride of thee Is like the sea that doth engulf the stream; My love for thee is like the sovran moon That rules the sea. The tides that fill my soul Flow unto thee and follow after thee; And where thou goest I will go; and where Thou diest I will die, --in the same hour. She lays her hand on his arm. He draws back. NAAMAN: O touch me not! Thou shall not share my doom. RUAHMAH: Entreat me not to go. I will obey In all but this; but rob me not of this, -- The only boon that makes life worth the living, -- To walk beside thee day by day, and keep Thy foot from stumbling; to prepare thy food When thou art hungry, music for thy rest, And cheerful words to comfort thy black hour; And so to lead thee ever on, and on, Through darkness, till we find the door of hope. NAAMAN: What word is that? The leper has no hope. RUAHMAH: Dear lord, the mark upon thy brow is yet No broader than m
