Das Ungewitter
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chor Ach! das Ungewitter nah't. Hilf uns, Himmel! O, wie der Donner rollt! O, wie die Winde toben! Wo flieh'n wir hin! Flammende Blitze durchwühlen die Luft; den zackigen Keilen berstet die Wolke, und Güsse stürzen herab. Wo ist Rettung! Wütend ras't der Sturm; der weite Himmel entbrennt. Weh' uns! Schmetternd krachen Schlag auf Schlag die schweren Donner fürchterlich. Weh' uns! Erschüttert wankt die Erde bis in des Meeres Grund. Lukas Die düst'ren Wolken trennen sich; gestillet ist der Stürme Wut. Hanne Vor ihrem Untergange blickt noch die Sonn' empor. Und von dem letzten Strahle glänzt, mit Perlenschmuck geziert, die Flur. Simon Zum langgewohnten Stalle kehrt, gesättigt und erfrischt, das fette Rind zurück. Lukas Dem Gatten ruft die Wachtel schon. Hanne Im Grase zirpt die Grille froh, Simon und aus dem Sumpfe quakt der Frosch. Alle drei Die Abendglocke tönt; von oben winkt der helle Stern, und ladet uns zur sanften Ruh'. Männer Mädchen, Burschen, Weiber kommt! Unser wartet süßer Schlaf, wie reines Herz, gesunder Leib, und Tages Arbeit ihn gewährt. Mädchen, Burschen, Weiber kommt! Frauen Wir geh'n, wir folgen euch. Chor Die Abendglocke hat getönt; von oben blinkt der helle Stern, und ladet uns zur sanften Ruh'.

Il temporale
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Coro Ah! Ecco che si avvicina il temporale. Aiutaci, Cielo! Come rimbomba il tuono! Come infuriano i venti! Dove trovare rifugio! Fulmini fiammanti sconvolgono l'aria; si squarciano le nubi, e rovesci d'acqua vengono giù. Dove trovare salvezza! Furiosa la tempesta imperversa; arde il vasto cielo. Poveri noi! Colpo su colpo rombano paurosamente tuoni terribili. Ahimè! La terra è scossa fino al fondo dei mari. Luca Le scure nubi infine si diradano; si placa la furia della tempesta. Vanna Prima di tramontare il Sole mostra ancora il suo volto. E illumina di un ultimo raggio il campo adornandolo di perle. Simone Verso la stalla ritorna, sazio e ristorato, il grasso vitello. Luca La quaglia già chiama il compagno. Vanna Nell'erba il grillo leva lieto il suo canto, Simone e dal pantano inizia a gracidare il rospo. Tutti e tre Suona la campana del vespro; in cielo si accende l'astro lucente, e al soave riposo ci invita. Uomini Fanciulle, giovanotti, donne, venite! Ci attende il dolce sonno, effetto sicuro di un cuore puro, di un corpo sano, e del lavoro quotidiano. Fanciulle, giovanotti, donne, venite! Donne Andiamo, vi seguiamo. Coro E' suonata la campana del Vespro; in cielo si accende l'astro lucente, e al soave riposo ci invita.
