Original text and translations

English text

Peace breathes along the shades
Of ev'ry hill,
The tree tops of the glades
Are hush'd and still;
All woodland murmurs cease;
The birds to rest within the break are gone.

Be patient weary heart,
Anon thou too shalt be at peace,
Thou, too, shalt be at peace.
