English text

Ye woods and ye mountains unknown,
Beneath whose dark shadows I stray,
To the breast of my charmer alone
These sighs bid sweet echo convey.
Wherever he pensively leans,
By fountain, on hill, or in grove,
His heart will explain what she means,
Who sings both from sorrow and love.

More soft than the nightingale's song,
O waft the sad sound to his ear;
And say, tho' divided so long,
The friend of his bosom is near.
Then tell him what years of delight,
Then tell him what ages of pain,
I felt when I liv'd in his sight,
I feel till I see him again.
