20 DRAMATIC AND LYRIC INTERPRETATION
Refrain:
II £tait trois petits enfants,
Qui s'en allaient glaner aux champs!
Of course the refrain must also express a share of the butcher's fright, because in his conscience now stirred up, he will revive the scene of his crime when the children innocently entered his house.
Saint Nicholas
(With an inflexible voice of severity, not a baritone but bass voice, deep register, more speaking than singing)
Boucher, boucher ! ne t'enfuis pas ! R'pens-toi! Dieu te pardonnera !
Interpreter
(With a voice specially rhythmic and essentially
classic)
Saint Nicolas alia s'asseoir Dessus le bord de ce saloir.
Refrain:
11 e"tait trois petits enfants,
Qui s'en allaient glaner aux champs.
Saint Nicholas
(Voice mystic, inspired, and tender)
Petits enfants qui dormez la — Je suis le grand Saint Nicolas!
