SCENE IX[OLAF LILJEKRANS enters again from the right.]
   "Of all the flowers on the hill over yonder
   Must you the fairest one find;
   And bit by bit you must tear it asunder,
   And scatter it far to the wind,—
   Then—only then will you happiness find!"
   These mysterious words give my spirit no rest.
   The fairest of flowers?  And what is the test?
   Where will it be found?  Is its beauty revealed
   In the fragrance or deep in the blossom concealed?
   Or hid in some magic power that I never
   Can possibly find if I search forever?
   So may there be virtue in many a spear
   Whose steel is rusty and out of gear;
   So too may a harp that no longer sings
   But hangs forgotten in the halls of mirth,
   Hide in its forsaken and dusty strings
   The strangest magic on earth.
