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, | 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; | 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, | 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.
