Veillons, mes soeurs (French) Zémire et Azor

André Grétry

Sisters, let’s watch again as the night flies before dawn.

Everything rests. The night descends, and the stars caress the sleeping earth with light. I, with my sad, frozen heart, in this abandoned garden, have only the night for a friend. Everything speaks to my soul in the evening, when I come here alone to sit under the tall, sleeping trees. The flowers console me, and I listen to them, dreaming. The souls of things awaken their voices to lull my boredom.

La cigale et la fourmi (The Ant & the Grasshopper) (French) Jacques Offenbach

When Winter comes, the Grasshopper begs the ant for a loan of grain to last her until Spring. On insect oath, the Grasshopper promises to repay the loan, interest & principal, by the next Fall.

Now off you go and dance!’
