- | |
A phantom scene barely glimmers | B |
The soft choirs of shades | C |
Melpomene has lashed the windows of her room with satin | D |
Wagons stand in the black gypsy camp | E |
The frost crackles outside | F |
Everything is dishevelled people and objects | G |
The burning snow crunches | H |

- | |
Piece by piece the servants take down | I |
Piles of bearskin coats | J |
In the rumple flits a butterfly | K |
A rose is muffled in the fur | L |
Gnats and boxes of colorful raimie | M |
The slight heat of the theater | L |
On the street the lamps flicker | L |
And the heavy steam belches | J |
- | |
- | |
- | |
The coachmen are weary from shouting | N |
And the night is pitch black | O |
No matter my dear Eurydice | J |
That our winter is bitterly cold | P |
For me my native tongue is sweeter | L |
Than the song of Italian speech | Q |
For in it the fount of foreign harps | J |
Will mysteriously prattle | R |
- | |
- | |
- | |
The pitiful sheepskin smells of smoke | S |
From a snow drift the street is black | O |
From a glorious melodic den | T |
Immortal Spring flies to us so that | U |
The aria eternally resounds | J |
'You will return to the green meadows ' | - |
And the living swallow fell back | O |
On the burning snow | V |
