¶Liedtext

Ye shepherds, so cheerful and gay, Whose flocks never carelessly roam; Should Corydon's happen to stray, Oh, call the poor wanderers home. Allow me to muse and to sigh Nor talk of the change that ye find; None once was so watchful as I: I've left my dear Phyllis behind. But why do I languish in vain, Why wander thus pensively here? Oh! why did I come from the plain, Where I fed on the smiles of my dear? They tell me my favourite maid, The pride of the valley is flown: Alas! where with her I have stray'd, I could wander with pleasure alone. When forced the fair nymph to forego, What anguish I felt at my heart! Yet I thought, but it might not be so, 'Twas with pain that she saw me depart. She gazed as I slowly withdrew, My path I could hardly discern; So sweetly she bade me adieu, I thought that she bade me return.
