Sister Najade (The Tarn by the Firs)

(Scene IV)

In strive for dispersion and to get over his evil dreams,
Our main character rests at a tarn near the residence.
Yet the night is not over and whether in fevered dream or not
- A ghoulish creature appears.

Truth - thy ways - what shall they bring to me?
What is soothing dream? What grim reality?
These days I strive - I hunt! - for clarity,
But yet I found an abyss of fathomless agony!

(Appeareth the nymph:)
Deep down in these waters I waited for eternity
Call my thy sister - thy sister Najade!

Glaring light of truth - what didst thou send to me?
That soothing dream gave way to grim reality!
No longer shall I hunt for clarity,
Now that I found her here in brightest blasphemy!

Deep down in these waters she waited for eternity
I call her sister - sister Najade

Deep down in these waters she waited for eternity
I call her sister - sister Najade
