SCENE I
Under the sea. Before the palace of the Merman Emperor. At left the palace. At right, under sea-trees, stand the imperial thrones. Between the palace and the thrones are three small garden plots. One is in the shape of a fish and a broken rocking-horse stands in the midst of its flowers; the second is in the shape of a mermaid and in its centre is a pilot's wheel; the third is round in shape, and the flowers twine about the marble statue of a youth, with head upraised.
The Merman Emperor — a stout, quaint little old gentleman with a long green beard — is seated on his throne. On his head is a crown; he wears royal robes and carries a trident. He is a man to the waist and below that is a fish's tail. Beside him sits his mother, the Empress Dowager. She is very old and bent, with white hair under her crown. She knits quietly. Leaning against the cushions at their father's tail sit the two elder princesses, Thora and Lona. They have long green hair, coronets of pearls and beautiful glittering green tails. Back of the thrones stand a line of guards — fish in brilliant uniforms, carrying muskets under their fins. Before the throne float the Captain of the Guard, — a splendid sword-fish, looking as if he were dressed in shining armor, — the Master of Ceremonies, — a fat old porpoise gorgeously attired, — and the Chief Musician, another fish, carrying his fiddle under one fin, his bow in the other .

SCENE II
The open sea. It is a dead calm. The sun is setting. To the left is the prow, the fore-mast, and part of the deck of the ship. The figurehead is a mermaid. From the mast hangs the royal flag. At the prow is the pilot's wheel. Several sailors are working about the rigging, on the cross-trees and mast-head. They are furling the sails. Others are busy on the deck. All are talking and laughing among themselves as they work .

There is a flash of lightning, a crash of thunder, then utter darkness. A long cry has gone up from the crew, which is lost in the howl of the hurricane. Constant flashes of lightning. In them the ship is seen, driving through the wind and rain, rolling and rocking in the enormous waves. Beside it, down in the water, swims the little mermaid, laughing and shrieking in a delirium of excitement

There is a crash, a scream from the sailors. A flash of lightning. The King is seen struggling with the wheel. The waves break over the deck. The mast snaps and falls. The ship keels over on her side and goes down. Darkness. The cries of the drowning are heard. When it lightens again, the King is seen, lying in Swanhild's arms. He is half unconscious. Her lips are pressed to his in a half-human, almost terrible embrace. Darkness. Thunder. The cries of the drowning die away. When it lightens again, she is still holding him

SCENE III
The shore by the convent. At extreme right a group of cypresses, through which can be seen the deep blue sea. To right centre a little cove comes in, with a rocky shore. At left, a hill, on the top of which the white marble columns of the convent gleam in the sunlight. Down the hill winds an ancient stairway with broad, shallow steps. At centre is an apple-tree, pale and cloudy with blossoms. Beneath its branches is a small marble shrine and altar such as the ancients built to their gods. It is now in disrepair. Vines grow about it. On it is the broken statue of a boy. This image is old and covered with moss and lichens .
Everywhere is the pale green of early spring. It is morning. Flowers are growing. Birds are singing .
As the curtain rises the stage is empty. Then the face of the little mermaid is seen peeping anxiously over a seaweed-covered rock on the shore of the cove and looking about in search of strangers. Finding no one, she disappears, but returns almost immediately holding in her arms the drenched and unconscious body of the young King .

The girls scatter, and, with sly gestures to each other, hide behind the rocks, and trees, and shrine, and peep out with dancing eyes. The dark girl, after glancing about to see if she is alone, bends over the King and tenderly kisses him on the forehead. At this her companions can contain themselves no longer; from their hiding-places they break into gales of laughter

Still laughing they disappear into the woods. She looks after them until she is sure they have really gone, then kisses the King again, this time on the mouth. His eyes open. He comes to himself and sees her face above him

SCENE IV
Under the sea. The cave of the Sea Witch. At the back is the entrance. Through it, outside, can be seen the remains of a wrecked vessel, half-buried in the sand. The mast is broken. At the wheel stands a skeleton. Near it grows a polyp-tree, half-animal, half-plant. Its branches are like wriggling arms. Some hold skeletons; others, pieces of wrecked vessels. Inside the cave the light is strange and dim. In a recess of the wall is a caldron, resting upon bones. From beneath comes a red and sullen glare. About the caldron lie human skulls .
As the curtain rises the Witch is sleeping on a heap of gold, surrounded by her treasures. She is strange and wicked and beautiful. About the cave crouch five hideous toads, also asleep. The Witch writhes on her heap of gold, moans as if oppressed by a great weight, struggles, beats the air with her hands and, finally, with a scream, awakes .

And, as she sings, the curtain falls
SCENE V
The palace of the King of the Blue Mountains. An open terrace overlooking the sea. To left, the entrance to the palace. To right, a few broad steps leading to the water. Along the back are tall marble columns. Through them can be seen the blue of the sky and sea. Near the steps is a marble chair, facing the ocean. It is late evening. As the scene progresses, night falls .
At the rise of the curtain the stage is empty. From within the palace comes the sound of music, mingled with occasional laughter and young voices. There is a moment's pause. The laughter and the voices swell. The doors to the palace are flung open and the King strides out as if escaping from the revelry within. Behind him follow two of his young comrades, entreating him to stay. They are flushed and laughing. Their heads are crowned with roses, their long robes trail behind them .

And, as he sings, the curtain falls
SCENE VI
The same scene. It is late afternoon. Towards right — near steps — is a low couch. At its head stands a tall brazier from which the smoke of incense slowly rises. There are mats and cushions spread about the stage. At centre is a reading-desk on which lies open a great book .
The King is lying on the couch. At his feet sits Swanhild as his page, dressed like a boy. About them, stretched out lazily on the cushions or sitting on the steps, are the King's companions. Rinaldo and Sebastian are lying at full length, their chins on their hands, a chess-board between them. They play slowly. At the corner of the steps sits Bertram, with a long cord in his hand. He is fishing. Roland sits on a cushion, leaning his back against the reading-desk. His head has fatten. He is asleep. Valentine holds a long, quaint, stringed instrument in his idle hands. Occasionally he strikes a note or two. Behind the reading-desk kneels Jasper. The open book is before him. As the curtain rises he is reading aloud .

And, as she sings, the torches flicker and go out, and at last the curtain falls
SCENE VII
The Queen's bower. Through the loggia at the back can be seen the soap-bubble domes and spires of the city, and beyond the sea. At right is the entrance to the inner chamber. At left is the entrance to the rest of the palace. In the centre is a flat marble basin from which a slender jet of water rises and falls. Towards the right, facing the entrance door, is a broad throne of marble slightly raised from the ground. There are nightingales and canaries in cages. Two great scarlet macaws sit on ivory perches .
At one of the windows at back kneels a maid-of-honor, keeping watch over the sea. In and out of the Queen's rooms — right — run the other five, chattering, laughing, dragging chests, carrying great armfuls of clothes, robes, feathers, etc. They are recognizable as the girls of Scene III — the shore by the convent. Directing them is the Queen — the leader of the band in Scene III. She is busily engaged in packing her jewels and sorting her clothes

SCENE X
The Queen's garden. A great flight of marble stairs leads to the palace door. On these stairs, in glittering display, is ranged the Queen's Court. The King's Herald, attended by his trumpeters and musicians, has just entered and stands facing the palace .

The King, who has turned away, slowly raises his head and listens. Swanhild watches him. From out of the palace run little children, carrying baskets of flowers. The maids-of-honor, hand in hand, follow after, singing as they come

The Queen appears at the palace door, wearing the jewels and veils and robes of state. She carries a great mass of flowers. She is very white and still. Her look is on the ground. She comes slowly to the head of the stairs. Then, at last, she raises her eyes and for the first time sees the King. The blossoms fall from her arms. They gaze at one another

SCENE XI
The bridal ship. Along the back runs the low gunwale — beyond is the open sea. At the right, stairs lead to the high, old-fashioned poop. On this is a purple tent. At the left, a few steps lead to the prow. On this is the mast — before it is the steersman's wheel. The whole ship is in festival attire. Stretched from the cross-yards of the mast, to the poop are long festoons of flowers, from which hang lanterns of warmly-colored silk. They glow like great golden oranges against the night-sky and the stars. On the deck beneath — which is spread with carpets, cushions and great silken mats — there is a slightly raised dais running along the gunwale at back. On this is a long narrow table, covered with damask, draped with garlands, loaded with pyramids of fruit, great golden plates, candelabra, goblets, and pitchers of wine .
Side by side, at the centre of this table, against a background of the night and stars, sit the King and Queen. His companions and her maids-of-honor sit with them. They are all flushed and radiant and crowned with roses. The warm light of the lamps above falls on their happy faces. — Black slaves move to and fro, with dishes. On the forward deck, sitting on the stairs, etc., are the sailors and attendants, watching the feast. Musicians are stationed on the poop. The Steersman is at the wheel. Swanhild, — still dressed as a boy, but in silvery splendor, — stands behind the King's chair, serving her master and mistress. Other pages serve the girls and young men .
As the curtain rises a young sailor, standing on the poop above, is finishing a love-song. Everyone is listening to him. The King's arm is about the Queen, her head is on his shoulder. Some of the other young people have clasped hands. Even the slaves are crouched and still .

As the song dies away there is a general movement. Slaves run forward carrying a great platter on which is a boar's head. Swanhild takes it from them and presents it to the King and Queen who serve themselves. Then it is passed to the rest. Meanwhile:
