KATERINA. Come, let us go now, let us go! (They go up the path, Katerina turns round). Good-bye!
BORIS. Till to-morrow.
KATERINA. Yes, to-morrow! Tell me what you dream to-night!
[The girls reach the gate.
BORIS. Yes, yes.
KUDRIASH (sings and plays guitar) Come out, lassie, while you may Till the glow of setting day! Ai-lalee, while you may, Till the glow of setting day!
VARVARA (at the gate). Aye, my laddie, while I may, Till the glow of break of day! Ai-lalee, while I may, Till the glow of break of day!
KUDRIASH. When the sun has risen fair And I may not linger mair. [Exit singing.
