						DICKENS (sings)
Fishes slumber in the cold, bright, glistening streams and rivers 
Birds roost on the branches of the trees      
In their stalls and pastures beasts are quiet                               
And human creatures sleep.                                      
 But what of that, when the solemn Night is watching 
 When it never winks,                                            
 When its darkness watches no less than its light.       
 The stately trees, the moon and shining stars,                         
 The softly stirring wind, the over-shadowed lane,	            
 The broad, bright countryside, they all keep watch.                   
 There’s not a blade of growing grass or corn, but watches -				And the quieter it is,                                                   
The more intent and fixed                                                 
 Does Nature’s watch upon us seem to reign
(DICKENS walks into his bedroom.)

This is an aria from our chamber opera, 'Tinderbox', about the visit of writer Hans Christian Andersen to Charles Dickens' home in Kent in July 1857. In this aria, 'How It Glows', sung by BBC Singer, mezzo soprano Margaret Cameron, a jeweller calls at Gads Hill with a repaired bracelet containing a card. Catherine Dickens believes it to be a gift for her from her husband Charles, only to hear her son Henry read the card : 'no jewel can be brighter than Ellen Ternan's eyes, says her faithful servant Charles Dickens.'   Ellen Ternan was a young actress, a protege of Dickens'.
