Tenor-solo: Ins Haus des Totengräbers Fallt durch die Fensterlein, Umrankt vom Efeugitter Der holde Morgenschein. Es weckt mit leisem Grusse Der Greis die Pilgerin. Rose: Hab' Dank für deine Güte, Nun will ich weiter zieh'n, Und woll' die Hande legen Aufs Haupt, mein Vater, mir, Beglückt mit deinem Segen, Nur so geh' ich von dir. Totengräber: O glücklich, dreimal glücklich ist, Wer dich als seine Tochter küsst, Hör' meine Bitte: folge mir, Ich gebe treue Eltern dir. Tenor-solo: Die Rose sinkt an seine Brust, Sie grüsst des Lebens erste Lust.

Tenor solo: Into the house of the gravedigger Through the window, Twined about with a screen of ivy, Falls the lovely morning light. With a soft greeting, the old man Awakens the pilgrim girl. Rose: I thank you for your kindness, Now I must wander onward, And if you would lay your hands Upon my head, my father, Only gladdened by your blessing Will I leave you. Gravedigger: Oh happy, thrice-happy is he Who kisses you as his daughter. Attend to my request: follow me, I shall give you devoted parents. Tenor solo: The rose sinks upon his breast, She greets the first joy of her life.
