Tenor-solo: Ins Haus des Totengräbers Fallt durch die Fensterlein, Umrankt vom Efeugitter Der holde Morgenschein. Es weckt mit leisem Grusse Der Greis die Pilgerin. Rose: Hab' Dank für deine Güte, Nun will ich weiter zieh'n, Und woll' die Hande legen Aufs Haupt, mein Vater, mir, Beglückt mit deinem Segen, Nur so geh' ich von dir. Totengräber: O glücklich, dreimal glücklich ist, Wer dich als seine Tochter küsst, Hör' meine Bitte: folge mir, Ich gebe treue Eltern dir. Tenor-solo: Die Rose sinkt an seine Brust, Sie grüsst des Lebens erste Lust.

Ténor solo : Dans la maison du fossoyeur, À travers la fenêtre, Recouverte d'un écran de lierre, La charmante lumière du matin. Avec un doux salut le vieillard Réveille la jeune pèlerine. La rose : Je te remercie pour ta bonté, Maintenant je dois aller plus loin, Et si tu posais tes mains Sur ma tête, mon père, Heureuse de ta bénédiction, Je te quitterais. Le fossoyeur : Ô heureux, trois fois heureux est Celui qui t'embrasse comme sa fille. Écoute ma demande : suis-moi, Je vais te montrer tes vrais parents. Ténor solo : La rose tombe sur sa poitrine, Elle reçoit le premier plaisir de sa vie.
