Die Peri und Chor Schlaf nun und ruhe in Träumen voll Duft, Balsam'scher umweh dich die Luft, Als dem magischen Brand der Phönix entsteigt, Wenn er sein eigenes Grablied singt. Schlaf nun und ruh in Träumen voll Lust, Du, die treueste, liebendste Brust! Sie sprach's, und Himmelshauch durchfließt Von ihren Lippen diese Stelle, Sie schwingt den Strahlenkranz und gießt Auf beider Antlitz solche Helle, Daß wie ein Heil'genpaar sie lagen. Indes die Peri wacht und Licht Mild strahlt in ihre Todesnacht, Bis ihre Seelen auferwacht.

La Peri y coro Duerme ahora y descansa en perfumado sueño, que el aire balsámico te rodee, como el Fénix se levanta del mágico fuego cuando entona su propio canto mortal. ¡Duerme ahora y descansa en alegres sueños, tú, la más fiel, la más amada novia! Ella habló, un hálito celestial brotó de sus labios en ese lugar, y surgió una aureola, que vertió en sus rostros tal claridad, que una pareja de santos parecían. Y en tanto que la Peri vigilaba, una luz suave brilló en su mortal noche, hasta el despertar de sus almas.
