Tenor-Solo: Johannis war gekommen, Der Erde Hochzeitstag, Wo sie als Braut am Herzen Des lieben Frühlings lag. Die stille Nacht umschleiert Den Schlummer der Natur. Das blasse Licht des Mondes Durchwandelt Hain und Flur. Die kleinen Blättchen schwirren Kaum hörbar in dem Baum, Um Schilf und Wasserblumen Schwebt Schlaf und Abendtraum. Alt-Solo: Was ist auf jener Wiese Für zauberischer Sang, Und unterm Frühlingsgrase Für wunderlicher Klang?

Ténor solo : Le jour de la Saint Jean est arrivé, Le jour des noces de la terre. Quand comme une fiancée sur le cœur Du bien-aimé printemps elle repose. La nuit silencieuse enveloppe Le sommeil de la nature. La lumière pâle de la lune Se promène à travers la lande et les champs. Les petites feuilles frémissent Presque sans bruit dans l'arbre. Autour des roseaux et des nénuphars Flottent le sommeil et les rêves du soir. Alto solo : Qu'est-ce qui sur cette prairie Chante magiquement, Et sous l'herbe du printemps Résonne merveilleusement ?
