Tenor-solo So sangen sie; da dämmert's schon, Ein Vogel singt im Morgenschlummer Die Welt erwacht zu neuer Lust, Zu neuem Schmerz, zu neuem Kummer. Und wie ein Blitz verschwunden sind Der Elfen luft'ge Scharen,- Nur auf der Wies' ein Silberstreif Verrät noch, wo sie waren - Auf schlägt das schöne Rosenkind, Wie träumend noch, das Augenpaar. Ein duftdurchfrischter Morgenwind Wirft Apfelblüten ihr in's Haar; Ein Röslein, morgenangeglüht. Am Busen,vielbedeutend, blüht. Rose Wo bin ich? Ist's Wahrheit, ist's ein Traum - Nein, nein, es ist kein Zauberbild; Als Mädchen wandelnd auf der Erden Werd' ich durch Liebe glücklich werden. Tenor-solo Sie steigt den Hügel still hinauf; Da tut vor ihren Blicken Das weite Tal sich prangend auf Begrenzt von Waldesrücken Erreicht ist bald des ersten Hauses Tür Sie tritt hinein und bittet freundlich hier Um Obdach.

Tenor Solo: Thus they sang; then it was already dawn, A bird sings in the morning slumber, The world awakens to new joy, To new pain, to new sorrow. And in a flash the fairies' airy swarm Has disappeared, - Only a silvery stripe in the meadow Betrays where they were. The beautiful rose-child opens, Her eyes, as if still dreaming. A freshly fragrant morning wind Scatters apple blossoms in her hair; A little rose, glowing in the morning light, Blooms full of meaning on her breast. Rose: Where am I? Is it real, is it a dream? No, no, it is no magical image; As a maiden walking upon the earth I shall become happy through love. Tenor Solo: She quietly climbs the hill, There before her gaze The wide valley presents itself resplendently, Bordered by woodlands. She soon reaches the door of the first house She enters and graciously asks For shelter.
