Chapter 28

KUDRIASH, VARVARA, BORIS and KATERINA.

KATERINA. Come, let us go now, let us go! (_They go up the path, Katerina turns round_). Good-bye!

BORIS. Till to-morrow.

KATERINA. Yes, to-morrow! Tell me what you dream to-night!

[_The girls reach the gate_.

BORIS. Yes, yes.

KUDRIASH (_sings and plays guitar_) Come out, lassie, while you may Till the glow of setting day! Ai-lalee, while you may, Till the glow of setting day!

VARVARA (_at the gate_). Aye, my laddie, while I may, Till the glow of break of day! Ai-lalee, while I may, Till the glow of break of day!

KUDRIASH. When the sun has risen fair And I may not linger mair. [_Exit singing._
