Ye nightingales yet tune your warbling lays,  
Ye nightingales yet tune your warbling lays,  
Ye who alone were conscious of our love,  
Ye who alone were conscious of our love,  
Cease birds your notes, ye rivers cease to move.
Cease birds your notes, ye rivers cease to move.}}

A cruel fate hangs threat'ning
O'er the lovely shepherd I adore.
Ye streams, ye know it yet pursue your ways,
Ye nightingales yet tune your warbling lays,
Ye who alone were conscious of our love,
Cease birds your notes, ye rivers cease to move.
