1 Why, with toil thy life consuming,
Dost thou follow vanity?
Come with me, come with me,
Where the spring is blooming.
Here the balmy breezes playing,
From the skies blow fresh and free;
Come with me, come with me,
Through the greenwood straying,
Come with me, come with me.
2 Nature here needs no adorning,
All is sweet simplicity:
Come with me, come with me,
Breathe the air of morning.
Here the heart, if sorrow laden,
Soon to joy restored will be;
Come with me, come with me,
Gentle youth or maiden,
Come with me, come with me.
