In the Light of the Virgin Morning Lyrics

In the Light of the Virgin Morning Song Lyrics

---

BLANCHE
In the light of the virgin morning
I look out on a misty haze
The estate has an ancient beauty
Mother must appraise

As I stroll through the pinks and roses
As I savour the columbine
I am grateful for all he is
And what will one day all be mine

The perfect plan
If only I could love the man
But I'm not quite sure I can

JANE
In the light of the virgin morning
In the shade of the chestnut tree
If I leave this unhappy bliss
Where will my Eden be?

For I'll miss this enchanted garden
Watching leaves as they turn to brown

BLANCHE
We will sell the estate, of course
And we will move to town

JANE
This is my fate, what more do I deserve?
I mustn't stay, what purpose would it serve?
He doesn't need me, his heart is blinded

Where will I go? What star will light my way?
This is my home, oh God above I pray
The rock of ages will show me mercy

In the light of the virgin morning
I am cursed in my hope of heaven
For I know I will always love him

BLANCHE (with Jane above)
We'll be admired and praised
I'll know what happiness is
When I am his

I'll be the star in his night
And I will shine as a bride
By his side

In the light of the virgin morning
I am blessed in my hope of heaven
For I know I will come to love him
