Who is She?
Esther leaves the king for the first time. The king wonders who exactly she was, and asks his servants. Fortunately all his servants like Esther very much and give her the highest praise.

Lyrics
KING:
Who is she and her history?
What a delightful mystery!
Royal servants, tell, who was that
who came last night to me?
SERVANT:
That’s Esther, she will be at your request, sir
the girl that everybody loves
You see my king, I think her beauty is quite striking
They say it’s sweeter than two turtledoves
KING:
Are you certain of this thing you say?
SERVANT:
Yes I’m sure of that, king on high
KING:
So the people think that she’s okay?
SERVANT:
Do you think that, to you, I’ll lie?
KING:
She’s like the air of spring
SERVANT:
Behold, the people sing
MALE & FEMALE SERVANTS:
This Esther, she is great
so first-rate
We are glad to serve her everyday
Her beauty fills each place
with warmth and grace
that’s radiating all the way
She really shines so bright
what a sight
making everybody’s hearts take flight
and want to kiss her hand
be her fan
just basking in her glorious light
