All: Here, here on our hill of dreams; Stand, stand with your hand in mine; I see a horizon shining and clear, When we’re together. Rikaard: I’ll find a place in the sun with you to guide me! Nina: I will guide you Edvard: My darkest battle is won if you’re beside me. Nina: I’m beside you All: We’re weaving a million schemes - Here, high on our Hill of dreams.
