Sur les bords du Jo-Yeh, des jeunes filles cueillent des nénuphars. Parmi les bambous, elles s'interpellent et se cachent en riant. L'eau réfléchit leurs belles robes, qui parfument la brise. Des cavaliers passent entre les saules de la rive... Un des chevaux hennit. Son maître regarde en vain de tous côtés et puis s'éloigne. Sur les bords du Jo-Yeh une des jeunes filles laisse tomber ses nénuphars et comprime son cœur qui bat à grands coups.

On the banks of the Jo-Yeh, girls are gathering water lilies. Amidst the bamboo, they call out to each other and playfully conceal themselves. The water reflects their beautiful robes, which perfume the breeze. Horsemen ride by beneath the willows of the riverbank ... One of the horses whinnies. Its master looks all around in vain and then moves off. On the banks of the Jo-Yeh one of the girls drops her lilies and presses her hand to her heart, which is pounding.
