This classic romantic duet celebrates the ecstasy of deep love and peaceful solitude. The lovers express how their divine togetherness feels like fine art graced by poetry and music, and how their hearts rejoice like a honeybee drawn to sweet nectar. Wondering if this rare joy is the fruit of past devotion and penance, they surrender themselves completely to love, looking forward to a harmonious and blissful life together.
