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.

Tenor solo: Així cantaven i ja clareja, un ocell canta al matí que encara dorm, el món es desperta a un goig novell, a un nou dolor, a una nova pena. I com un llamp ha desaparegut l’airívol estol dels elfs, tan sols una llenca argentada a la prada palesa on havien estat. La formosa rosa-infant obre els seus ulls com si somiés encara. Un vent matinal fresc i perfumat li gita flors de pomer als seus cabells; una petita rosa, brillant a la llum del matí, floreix, molt significativa, al seu pit. La rosa: On sóc? És realitat o és un somni? No, no, no és cap encanteri; com donzella caminant per el món seré feliç gràcies a l’amor. Tenor solo: Ella puja tranquil•lament al tossal; allà, davant dels seus ulls s’estén l’àmplia vall resplendent envoltada de boscos. Ben aviat arriba a la porta de la primera casa, hi entra i demana gentilment aixopluc.
