English text
- Dear thoughts are in my mind, and my soul soars enchanted.
- As I hear the sweet lark sing in the clear air of the day;
- For a tender , beaming smile to my hope has been granted,
- and tomorrow she shall hear all my fond heart would say.
- I shall tell her all my love all my soul's adoration
- and I think she will hear me, and will not say me nay;
- It is this that gives my soul all its joyous elation,
- As I hear the sweet lark sing in the clear air of the day.
