But we must part.

DON JUAN. - When shall we meet again?

DONA ANNA. I do not know. Some time.

DON JUAN. - To-morrow?

DONA ANNA. - Where?

DON JUAN. Here.

DONA ANNA. O Don Juan, how weak a heart is mine!

DON JUAN. A quiet kiss in token of forgiveness...

DONA ANNA. It's time to go.

DON JUAN. - Just one, cold, quiet kiss...

DONA ANNA. Oh, how importunate you are! Well, there!

... (A noc at the door.)

What is that knock I hear?... Oh, hide, Don Juan!

DON JUAN. Good-bye, until we meet again, my darling.

(Goes out and runs in again.)

Oh!...

DONA ANNA. What's the matter? Oh!

(Enter the STATUE of the commander;

DONA ANNA falls.) STATUE. - Your call I've answered.

DON JUAN. O God! O Dona Anna!

STATUE. - Let her be,

All's over. You are trembling, Don Juan.

DON JUAN. I? No!... I bade you come; I'm glad to

see you.

STATUE. Give me your hand.

DON JUAN. - Here, take it... Oh, how heavy

The pressure of his cold and stony hand!

Release me, let me go, let go my hand!...

I'm perishing - all's over - Dona Anna!

(They sink into the ground.)

I came into this world in love with art.

Yet on a childhood day, when in the heights

Of our old church the lofty pipes resounded,

I listened, and was lost in listening -- tears

Were pouring out, involuntary, sweet!

In early years I spurned all idle pastimes;
