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
