An dem jungen Morgenhimmel Steht die reine Sonne klar, Aber Blut quillt auf der Wiese, Und ein Roß, des Reiters baar, Trabt verschüchtert in der Runde, Starr steht eine reis'ge Schaar. Mohrenkönig, bist erschlagen Von dem tapfern Brüderpaar, Das Dein kühnes Räuberwagniß Nahm im grünen Forste wahr! Donna Clara kniet bei'm Leichnam Aufgelöst ihr goldnes Haar, Sonder Scheue nun bekennend, Wie ihr lieb der Todte war. Brüder bitten, Priester lehren, Eins nur bleibt ihr offenbar. Sonne geht, und Sterne kommen, Auf und nieder schwebt der Aar, Alles auf der Welt ist Wandel Sie allein unwandelbar. Endlich bau'n die treuen Brüder Dort Kapell' ihr und Altar, Betend nun verrinnt ihr Leben, Tag für Tag und Jahr für Jahr, Bringt verhauchend sich als Opfer Für des Liebsten Seele dar.

Al cel, de bon hora al matí, diàfan, el sol brilla ben clar, però a la prada hi corre la sang, i un corser mancat de cavaller, trota atemorit donant voltes; immòbil, una tropa de mercenaris és allà. Rei dels moros, has estat mort per el parell dels valents germans que en la verda forest s’adonaren del teu agosarat segrest! Dona Clara s’agenolla davant el cadàver, esbullats els seus daurats cabells, reconeixent sense temença com el mort li era estimat. Els germans li preguen, els sacerdots l’aconsellen, però una sola cosa resta evident per a ella. El sol es pon, les estrelles apareixen, l’àguila sura i davalla planant, tot canvia en el món, només ella roman immutable. Finalment, els fidels germans li basteixen allà, una capella i un altar, ara, la seva vida passa pregant, dia rere dia, any rere any, desalenada, s’ofereix en sacrifici per a l’ànima del seu estimat.
