Lyrics
Dance and song make glad the night,
Hark! the castanets are sounding light.
Come! ah, come! Love, I watch the scene so bright.
Ah! now rings a voice I know from every voice apart.
Thro’ the orange grove he hastens;
He is coming, oh, my heart!
Ah! ’mid the throng, many, many are fair;
Bright flow’rets twine in raven hair.
Dark eyes sparkle and gleam,
Soft lips breathe tender sighs,
Shall I fairest seem in his eyes?
Ah! Joy! Ah, joy! he comes to me!
Hark! now rings the music,
While the silver moon-beams shine;
In the dance, love, and forever,
I am thine, only thine!

Composer Wilson was also a well-known singer of his day. If you want to see his suggestion for an impressive vocal cadenza, look at the last page of the vocal part.
