The second poem used in the piece: 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)
Poems used in the composition (In Hungarian):
I. Hogyha megcsal majd az élet
Hogyha megcsal majd az élet,
ó, ne sírj, ne lázadozz:
hagyd, ha bármi bajba hoz:
lesz még víg napod, megéred.
Jobb jövőben él szived,
mert a mán sivár sötét ül:
percnyi minden - elsiet,
és ami elmúlt: egyszer szépül! (Franyó Zoltán fordítása)
II. A rózsa
Látod, mivé lett
e rózsaszál?
hajnalban éledt,
s nem rózsa már.
Latolni kár,
hogy lám, ez így van,
a zsenge báj
s a mámor illan.
Hervadni fáj.
Mondd neki: “Szánlak!”
S vidulj a nyárnak
liliomán. (Kócsvay Margit fordítása)
