The second poem used in the piece:

II. The rose

Where is our rose, friends? 

Tell if ye may!

Faded the rose, friends,

The Dawn-child of Day.

Ah, do not say,

Such is life’s fleetness!

No, rather say,

I mourn thee, rose, - farewell!

Now to the lily-bell

Flit we away. (Translated by Thomas Budd Shaw)
