Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

WERTHER
(avec extase, tandis que Charlotte
embrasse les Enfants)
O spectacle idéal d'amour et d'innocence.
Où mes yeux et mon coeur sont ravis à  la fois!
Quel rêve... de passer... une entière existence...
Calmé par ses regards et bercé par sa voix!


(La plupart des invités est déjà  presque sortie;
restent encore Brühlmann et Kätchen,
absorbés et silencieux, près de la fontaine.
Charlotte est prête maintenant, elle descend dans la cour.
Werther va à  sa rencontre. Sophie
et les Enfants forment un groupe sur la terrasse
et envoient des baisers à  leur grande soeur.)

English Libretto or Translation:

WERTHER
(with ecstasy, while Charlotte
kiss the Children)
O ideal show of love and innocence.
Where my eyes and my heart are delighted at once!
What a dream ... to pass ... a whole existence ...
Calmed by his looks and rocked by his voice!


(Most guests are already almost out;
still remain Brühlmann and Kätchen,
absorbed and silent, near the fountain.
Charlotte is ready now, she goes down to the courtyard.
Werther goes to meet him. Sophie
and the Children form a group on the terrace
and send kisses to their older sister.)
