(_At first afar, then drawing nearer and nearer
until at last she rushes in gleefully. She
is dressed, as in the first Act, in green,

(_She starts, and throws herself at his feet,
covering her face with her hands. The disc of
the sun, emerging above the line of clouds,
shoots its myriad golden needles through the
wood. Revealed in the light, like things seen
in a mirage, a number of fairies are discerned_
_watching the two. From far down the mountain
comes the sound of a bell tolling._)
