Yes,
all in an instant
I see
my mistake and I feel
That
from this torment
I
will have no respite.
Forever
that mild countenance
I
will see, with excruciating agony,
Forever
that sweet voice
I
will hear mourning.
Farewell
flowery refuge
Of
joy and love
I
cannot bear your misery
I
must run away, I must run away – I am vile.
Peter Dvorsky as
Pinkerton in Puccini's Madame Butterfly. With Richard Stilwell as Sharpless.
