lyrics

Sapho's final soliloquy "Ô ma lyre immortelle" from the opera Sapho, by Charles Gounod. Act 3 Description, from Wikipedia:):

"Act 3
A windswept beach with the setting sun

Phaon, Glycère and the conspirators bid farewell to their country.
Sapho has come to bid them farewell but Phaon curses her. Nonetheless she forgives and blesses him, then leaps into the ocean."

-Ah, Opera! How Dramatic! ;)! ~ LD
