Aria I
Wherever we turn in the storm of roses,
the night is lit up by thorns, and the thunder
of leaves, once so soft in the depth of the bushes,
rumbling at our heels.
Wherever the fire of roses is extinguished,
rain washes us in the river. O distant night!
Yet a leaf, which once touched us, follows us on waves
towards the river's mouth.
