Notes:

A naked woman stands in a pond, her hands behind her head adjusting her long flowing hair, which reaches almost to her knees and covers her crotch modestly. There are yellow flowers, and she stands at the entrance to a cave.

Persina was a fairy in mythology.

How I torment the old faun,

I would like to tell the sisters.

Wake up from dreaming,

Nymphs in springs and trees,

Shoo away the sleep and come in,

To play and dance the way is free!”

Wie ich den alten Faun that quälen,

Möcht’ ich den Schwestern gern erzählen.

Wacht auf vom Träumen,

Nymphen in Quellen und Bäumen,

Den Schlaf verscheucht und kommt herbel,

Zu Spiel und Tanz der Weg ist frei!
