Lorma saß in der Halle von Aldo. Sie saß beym Licht einer flammenden Eiche. Die Nacht stieg herab, aber er kehrte nicht wieder zurück. Lormas Seele war trüb! »Was hält dich, du Jäger von Cona, zurück. Du [hast]1 versprochen wieder zu kehren. Waren die Hirsche weit in der Ferne? Brausen an der Heyde die düstern Winde um dich! ich bin im Lande der Fremden, wer ist mein Freund, als Aldo? [komm]2 von deinen erschallenden Hügeln, o mein bester Geliebter!« Sie wandt ihre Augen gegen das Thor. Sie lauscht zum brausenden Wind. Sie denkt, [dies]3 seyen die Tritte von Aldo. Freud steigt in ihrem Antlitz! aber Wehmut kehrt wieder, wie am Mond eine dünne Wolke, zurück.

Lorma était assise dans le palais d'Aldo, Elle était assise à la lumière d'un chêne en flamme. La nuit tombait, Mais il ne revenait pas. L'âme de Lorna était triste ! "Qu'est-ce qui t'arrête, chasseur de Cona ? Tu as promis encore une fois de revenir. Est-ce que les cerfs sont allés au loin ? Est-ce que sur la lande les vents ténébreux grondent autour de toi ? Je suis dans le pays d'étrangers. Qui est mon ami, si ce n'est Aldo ? Viens de tes collines qui résonnent, Ô mon bien-aimé !" Elle a tourné ses yeux vers la porte. Elle écoutait le vent qui gronde. Elle pensait que c'était le pas d'Aldo. La joie est apparue sur son visage ! Mais le chagrin est revenu à nouveau, comme sur la lune Un nuage peu épais.
