om her to thee, I bring a letter, And some money also; Because a dragoon has not too much. And, besides that—Jose: Something else?Micaela: Yes, I will tell you. What she has given, I Your mother with me And then, lovingly, she kissed me. My daughter, said she, to the city go: When arrived in Seville, Thou wilt seek out Jose, my beloved son; Tell him that his mother, By night, by day, thinks of her Jose: For him she always prays and hopes, And pardons him, and loves him ever. And then this kiss, kind one, Thou wilt to him give for me.Jose: A kiss from my mother?Micaela: To her son. Jose, I give it to thee—as I promised. (Micaela stands on tip-toe and kisses Jose—a true mothers kiss.—Jose is moved andregards Micaela tenderly.)Jose: My home in yonder valley, My mother lovd shall I eer see? Ah fondly in my heart I cherishMemries so dear yet to me.Micaela: That one sweet hope, Twill strength and courage give thee. That yet again thou wilt thy home And thy dear mother once more see.
