Rusalka is a water-sprite who has fallen in love – from afar – with a human prince. In this aria, she pleads with the moon to shine on her lover, and let him know how much she adores him.
Dvorák provides a wonderful accompaniment to this aria, full of little bubbling rising phrases which suggest the world of water which surrounds the heroine.
