"Here are some roses,
Of this enshrouded night.
On this fragrant bed,
Oh, my Faust, beloved...rest!
In a voluptuous sleep
You will feel
More than a scarlet kiss.
While flowers on your bed
Open their petals,
Your ear will hear
Divine words.
Listen, listen!
The spirits of the Earth and the air
Begin for you
An exquisite concert of dreams."
