Tenor-solo So sangen sie; da dämmert's schon, Ein Vogel singt im Morgenschlummer Die Welt erwacht zu neuer Lust, Zu neuem Schmerz, zu neuem Kummer. Und wie ein Blitz verschwunden sind Der Elfen luft'ge Scharen,- Nur auf der Wies' ein Silberstreif Verrät noch, wo sie waren - Auf schlägt das schöne Rosenkind, Wie träumend noch, das Augenpaar. Ein duftdurchfrischter Morgenwind Wirft Apfelblüten ihr in's Haar; Ein Röslein, morgenangeglüht. Am Busen,vielbedeutend, blüht. Rose Wo bin ich? Ist's Wahrheit, ist's ein Traum - Nein, nein, es ist kein Zauberbild; Als Mädchen wandelnd auf der Erden Werd' ich durch Liebe glücklich werden. Tenor-solo Sie steigt den Hügel still hinauf; Da tut vor ihren Blicken Das weite Tal sich prangend auf Begrenzt von Waldesrücken Erreicht ist bald des ersten Hauses Tür Sie tritt hinein und bittet freundlich hier Um Obdach.

Tenore: Così stanno cantando; già spunta l'alba, canta un uccello nel mattino che dorme Si desta il mondo a nuove gioie, a nuovi dolori, a nuovi affanni e in un lampo scompare la lieta adunata degli elfi - Per i campi, solo una traccia argentea ancora rivela dove danzavano - Apre gli occhi la bella rosa-fanciulla e sembra che stia ancora sognando, Con un fresco profumo il vento mattutino, le soffia sui capelli fiori di melo; Intensamente accesa dalla luce dell'alba, una piccola rosa fiorisce sul suo seno. Rosa: Dove mi trovo? E' vero o sto sognando? - No, no non è una illusione; in forma di fanciulla cammino sulla terra per conoscere la felicità attraverso l'amore. Tenore: Ella sale in silenzio sulla collina; davanti ai suoi occhi splendida si stende l'ampia vallata tutta circondata di boschi, presto raggiunge la porta di una casa. Entra e chiede gentilmente se è possibile ricevere asilo.
