Come with the Gipsy bride, Arline's aria from The Bohemian Girl Come with the Gipsy bride, And repair to the fair, Where the mazy dance Will the hours entrance! Come with the Gipsy bride, Where souls as light preside! Life can give nothing beyond One heart you know to be fond, Wealth with its hoards cannot buy The peace content can supply, And rank in its halls cannot find The calm of a happy mind. Come with the Gipsy bride, And repair to the fair, Where the mazy dance Will the hours entrance! Love is the first thing to clasp, But if he escape your grasp, Friendship will then be at hand, In the young rogue's place to stand, Hope will then be nothing loath To point out the way to both. Come with the Gipsy bride, And repair to the fair, Where the mazy dance Will the hours entrance!
