Rose: Dank, Herr, dir dort im Sternenland, Du führtest mich an Vaterhand, Und in der Leiden Becher fiel Ein Himmelstropfen, süss und kühl; Nun wolle Ruh der Müden schenken Dass ich gestärkt dem jungen Tag, Was er auch bring', entgegen blicken mag! (Im Einschlummern). Ob sie wohl mein gedenken? Chor der Elfen: Schwesterlein! Hörst du nicht beim Sternenschein Unser Lied. Hörst du nicht die Glöckchen fein, Rosenblut? Hörst du nicht beim Sternenschein Das Elfenlied? Lass dich nicht berücken, Kehr' zu uns zurück, Hoffe nicht auf Glück! Nur bei uns, Im Reich der Elfen, Wohnt die Lust, Aber Schmerz und Leiden in der Menschenbrust. Schwesterlein! Klingt in deinen Traum hinein Nicht unser Gruss? Fühlst du nicht im Mondenschein Unsern Kuss? Lass dich nicht berücken, Keh'r zu uns zurück! Hoffe nicht auf Glück! Wähnst du, dass auf Erden Wohne dauernd Glück? In der Schmerzensträne Stirbt der Freude Blick. Röslein, komm zurück, Hoffe nicht auf Glück, Komm' zurück!

Rosa: Grazie, Signore; dall'alto dei cieli Mi hai guidato verso mani paterne, e nella coppa del dolore hai versato una dolce e fresca goccia celeste. Concedi il riposo alla mia stanchezza, così che, con forza rinnovata, io possa affrontare il giorno che viene e quello che porterà. (Addormentandosi) Chissà se mi stanno pensando. Coro degli Elfi: Sorellina, non senti, sotto un chiarore di stelle, la nostra canzone? Non senti le campanelline, bocciolo di rosa? Non senti, sotto un chiarore di stelle, il canto degli Elfi? Non ti lasciare ingannare, ritorna da noi, non sperare nella felicità! Soltanto con noi, nel regno degli Elfi, la gioia ha dimora, Dolore e pena Stanno nel cuore umano. Sorellina! Non risuona nel tuo sogno Il nostro saluto? Non senti sotto il chiaro di luna Il nostro bacio? Non ti lasciare ingannare, ritorna da noi, non sperare nella felicità! Credi davvero che sulla terra Abiti una felicità duratura? In lacrime di dolore Muore ogni istante di gioia. Rosellina, torna indietro, non sperare nella felicità, torna indietro!
