Gefesselt steht der breite See

Recitativo: Lukas
Gefesselt steht der breite See,
gehemmt in seinem Laufe der Strom.
Im Sturze vom türmenden Felsen
hängt gestockt und stumm der Wasserfall.
Im dürren Haine tönt kein Laut;
die Felder deckt, die Täler füllt
ein' ungeheure Flockenlast.
Der Erde Bild ist nun ein Grab,
wo Kraft und Reiz erstorben liegt,
wo Leichenfarbe traurig herrscht,
und wo dem Blicke weit umher
nur öde Wüstenei sich zeigt.

Il vasto lago giace incatenato
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Recitativo: Luca
Il vasto lago giace incatenato,
paralizzata è la corrente del fiume.
Dall'alto della rupe torreggiante
rigida e muta pende la cascata.
Nel bosco spoglio non s'avverte suono;
I campi copre, e le valli colma,
un'infinita quantità di neve.
La tera appare ora come una tomba,
dove giacciono morte forza e bellezza,
dove un colore di morte tristemente domina,
e dove allo sguardo che lontano arriva
solo una desolata solitudine si mostra.
