Ophelia Playing Rapunzel

[Verse 1, Marilisa:]
I stand before the water
And I think of my beloved
How it scares me, how it scares me
To be leaving him behind here
And I think he'd be surprised
To find me sounding so coherent
Find me sound of mind and body
When he thought me long surrendered
To the cruel grip of madness
Like a stone that sinks in water
And the water
And the water calls me in

[Verse 2:]
I stand before the water
[Counterpoint, Mich:] White his shroud as the mountain snow
And I look at my reflection
Larded with sweet flowers
See the empty-eyed young woman
Which bewept to the grave didn't go
See the wilting bunch of flowers
With true-love showers
There is rosemary for remembering
There is rosemary for remembrance
There are pansies for the thinking
I pray you, love, remember
Will he think, will he remember
You must wear your rue with a difference
Or dismiss it all as fancy
There are pansies, they're for thoughts
And I drop them one by one
Here's a daisy, here's a daisy
And send them floating in the water
I would give you violets
And the water
But they withered
And the water calls me in
They withered when he died
