Original text and translations

English.png English text

1  Lisp, lisp in sweetest numbers,
Lisp along the streamlet's bank;
Wake the scent which sweetly slumbers,
'Neath the dew by roses drank.
Kiss, kiss the blue-eyed flowers,
Kiss the daisy's humble head,
Chase away the trembling showers,
Lest they lay the violet dead.
Kiss! kiss! Kiss! kiss! Kiss! kiss!

2  Sigh, sigh around the willows,
Sigh the nodding reeds among;
Rouse the larks from mossy pillows,
Till they emulate your song.
Dance, dance across the meadow,
Dance among the waving grass,
Run to catch the passing shadow
Cast by cloudlets as they pass.
Dance! dance! Dance! dance! Dance! dance!

3  Sweep, sweep o'er moor and mountain,
Sweep o'er voiceful wood and fell:
Stoop to kiss the conscious fountain,
Stoop to woo the heather-bell.
Stay, stay awhile beside us,
Stay to chide the heat of noon;
Early joys from cares divide us,
Morning freshness flies too soon.
Stay! stay! Stay! stay! Stay! stay!
