Tenor-Solo Die Peri tritt mit schüchterner Gebärde Vor Edens Tor, Im Herzen Himmelshoffnungsglück: Ob sich die Pforte öffnen werde, Sie fragt's mit stummem Liebesblick. Der Engel Gern grüßen wir, die so gegangen Den Heldentod fürs Vaterland. Doch sieh, noch weicht der eh'rne Riegel nicht Viel heil'ger muß die Gabe sein, Die dich zum Tor des Lichts läßt ein! Engel-Chor Viel heil'ger muß die Gabe sein, Die dich zum Tor des Lichts läßt ein!

Tenor La Peri llega con tímidos ademanes a la puerta del Edén, en su corazón la esperanza de la dicha celestial, y con muda mirada amorosa pregunta si la puertas le serán abiertas. El ángel Con gusto recibimos a quienes por la patria han enfrentado una heroica muerte. Pero mira, aún no cede el férreo cerrojo, más santa ha de ser la ofrenda que la puerta de la luz te haga franquear. Coro de los ángeles Más santa ha de ser la ofrenda que la puerta de la luz te haga franquear.
