The Vision Bleak
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 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
