 (A fragment of the Wind Motives is heard in the orchestra and the Spirits of the East, West, South and North Winds come on in the order named.)

High Bohemia! we are come! It is our thought that we no more molest This grove with all our fury. We shall serve As minstrels, as the lords of woodland harps— Masters of wildest music. We by day Shall wander joyous in the maze of boughs, And cast like golden fruit our mellow notes Below to these thy priests, until, by night, We so with tenderest breath upon our chords Shall unto slumber lure their drowsy souls That they forget awhile they ever lived, And toiled, and were a-troubled. At our call The timid god of sleep shall cease to fear, Approach unawed, and bless them till the dawn.
