Libretto

Aria "Leise, leise, fromme Weise" (Act II, No.8)

1. Leise, leise, fromme Weise,
Schwing dich auf zum Sternenkreise!
Lied, erschalle! Feiernd walle
Mein Gebet zur Himmelshalle,
Zur Himmelshalle.

2. Zu dir wende ich die Hände,
Herr, ohn' Anfang und ohn' Ende!
Vor Gefahren uns zu wahren,
Sende deine Engelscharen,
Deine Engelscharen.

Chorus "Wir winden dir den Jungfernkranz" (Act III, No.14)

1. Wir winden dir den Jungfernkranz
Mit veilchenblauer Seide,
Wir führen dich zu Spiel und Tanz,
Zu Glück und Liebesfreude.

Chorus:
Schöner grüner, schöner grüner Jungfernkranz!
Veilchenblaue Seide, veilchenblaue Seide.

2. Lavendel, Myrt' und Thymian,
Das wächst in meinem Garten;
Wie lang bleibt doch der Freiersmann?
Ich kann es kaum erwarten. + Chorus

3. Sie hat gesponnen sieben Jahr
Den gold'nen Flachs am Rocken;
Die Schleier sind wie Spinnweb' klar,
Und grün der Kranz der Locken. + Chorus

4. Und als der schmucke Freier kam,
War'n sieben Jahr verronnen;
Und weil sie der Herzliebste nahm,
Hat sie den Kranz gewonnen. + Chorus
