  Was unterm Monde gleicht
  Uns Elfen flink und leicht?
  Wir spiegeln uns im Thau
  Der sternenhellen Au,
Wir tanzen auf des Baches Moos',
Wir wiegen uns am Frühlingssproß,
Und ruhn in weicher Blumen Schooß!

La reine des elfes

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Curschmann)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

    Qui sous la lune nous ressemble,
    Nous les elfes agiles et légers ?
    Nous nous mirons dans la rosée
    Du pré à la clarté des étoiles,
Nous dansons sur la mousse du ruisseau,
Nous nous balançons aux pousses du printemps
Et nous reposons dans le sein moelleux des fleurs !
