A rthur, do you love me so?
L yla, I do love you so.
B ut, Arthur, will you love me more?
A rthur am I and like a turnip will love you ever more.
* An Alba (meaning “dawn) , a sunrise song, is either a
solo plaint or a dialogue-duet between lovers.
It’s counterpart is the serenade, an evening song.
