| | | He. | WHERE thou dwellest, in what grove, | |
| | Tell me Fair One, tell me Love; | |
| | Where thou thy charming nest dost build, | |
| | O thou pride of every field! | |
| |
| She. | Yonder stands a lonely tree, | 5 |
| | There I live and mourn for thee; | |
| | Morning drinks my silent tear, | |
| | And evening winds my sorrow bear. | |
| |
| He. | O thou summer’s harmony, | |
| | I have liv’d and mourn’d for thee; | 10 |
| | Each day I mourn along the wood, | |
| | And night hath heard my sorrows loud. | |
| |
| She. | Dost thou truly long for me? | |
| | And am I thus sweet to thee? | |
| | Sorrow now is at an end, | 15 |
| | O my Lover and my Friend! | |
| |
| He. | Come, on wings of joy we’ll fly | |
| | To where my bower hangs on high; | |
| | Come, and make thy calm retreat, | |
| | Among green leaves and blossoms sweet. | 20 | | | |
