Und wie vom Sturm zerstoben

Erzählerin (alto solo)
 Und wie vom Sturm zerstoben ist all' der Hörer Schwarm.
 Der Jüngling hat verröchelt in seines Meisters Arm;
 Der schlägt um ihn den Mantel und setzt ihn auf das Roß,
 Er bind't ihn aufrecht feste, verläßt mit ihm das Schloß.

 Doch vor dem hohen Tore, da hält der Sängergreis,
 Da faßt er seine Harfe, sie, aller Harfen Preis,
 An einer Marmorsäule, da hat er sie zerschellt;
 Dann ruft er, daß es schaurig durch Schloß und Gärten gellt:

But before the high gate, the aged singer halts,
 There he seizes his harp, the choicest of all harps.
 Against a marble column, there he smashes it;
 Then, so that it chillingly shrills through palace and garden, he calls out:
