GABRIEL: Auf starkem Fittiche Schwinget sich der Adler stolz Und teilet die Luft Im schnellesten Fluge Zur Sonne hin. Den Morgen grüßt Der Lerche frohes Lied, Und Liebe girrt Das zarte Taubenpaar. Aus jedem Busch und Hain erschallt Der Nachtigallen süße Kehle. Noch drückte Gram nicht ihre Brust, Noch war zur Klage nicht gestimmt Ihr reizender Gesang.

GABRIEL: Sur des ailes puissantes L'aigle fier s'élance Et fend l'air Dans un vol très rapide Vers le soleil. Le matin est salué Par le chant joyeux de l'alouette, Et l'amour est roucoulé Par le tendre couple de colombes. De chaque buisson et bosquet résonne Le doux gosier du rossignol. Aucun chagrin n'oppressait encore sa poitrine À la plainte n'était pas encore accordé Son chant charmant.
