¶Lyrics / Text

Go faster, my steed, speed on, speed on, How long thou seemest to tarry! To the wood, to the wood, ever lovely and free, My own happy secret I'll carry. Sweet evening's soft and tranquil light Now o'er the forest is glowing, And melody echoes from tree to tree, While softly the winds are blowing, Go faster, my steed, speed on,. O could I soar like the lark on high, All the air with my carols filling, And loud that joy to the skies proclaim, With which my heart is thrilling: Or with the gale fly on restless wing Away to the far distant ocean, Entrusting each wave with the feelings of bliss That are stirring my heart with emotion. Go faster, my steed, speed on, speed on, No mortal ear shall my secret hear, Go faster, my steed, go faster, my steed, Much longer I cannot conceal it, 'Tis vain the wish on the wing to fly, And quickly I haste to reveal it. Then know it, sweet moon, on the rippling sea, Fair trees that around me are growing. She is mine! she is mine! and on my lips Her heavenly kiss still is glowing.
