Wandering Child

(the phantom emerges from behind the cross)
Phantom (very soft and enticing)
Wandering child . . .
So lost . . .
So helpless . . .
Yearning for my
Guidance . . .
(bewildered, christine looks up, and murmurs
Breathlessly):
Christine
Angel . . . or father . . .
Friend . . . or
Phantom . . . ?
Who is it there,
Staring . . . ?
Phantom (more and more hypnotic)
Have you
Forgotten your angel . . .?
Christine
Angel . . . oh, speak . . .
What endless
Longings
Echo in this
Whisper . . .!
(raoul appears in the shadows and watches for a
Moment transfixed)
Phantom (now drawing christine towards him)
Too long you've wandered
In winter . . .
Raoul (to himself a murmur)
Once again
She is his . . .
Phantom
Far from my
Far-reaching gaze . . .
Raoul
Once again
She returns . . .
Christine (increasingly mesmerized)
Wildly my mind
Beats against you . . .
Phantom
You resist . . .
Phantom/christine
Yet your/the soul
Obeys . . .
Raoul
. . . to the arms
Of her angel . . .
Angel or demon . . .
Still he calls her . . .
Luring her back, from the grave . . .
Angel or dark seducer . . .?
Who are you, strange
Angel . . .?
Phantom
Angel of music!
You denied me,
Turning from true beauty . . .
Angel of music!
Do not shun me . . .
Come to your strange
Angel . . .
Christine
Angel of music!
I denied you,
Turning from true beauty . . .
Angel of music!
My protector . . .
Come to me, strange
Angel . . .
(christine moves towards the figure of the
Phantom)
Phantom (beckoning her)
I am your angel of music . . .
Come to me: angel of music . . .
Raoul (suddenly calling out)
Angel of darkness!
Cease this torment!
(inexorably the phantom continues to beckon
Christine)
Phantom
I am your angel of music . . .
Come to me: angel of music . . .
Raoul (in desperation)
Christine! christine listen to me!
Whatever you may believe, this man . . .
This thing . . . is not your father!
(to the phantom)
Let her go! for god's sake, let her go! christine !
(coming out of her trance christine turns and
Mouths the words):
Christine
Raoul . . .
