So amiable a violet!Da kam eine junge Schäferin Along there came a young shepherdessMit leichtem Schritt und muntrem Sinn Light paced, full of contentednessDaher, daher, Along, along,Die Wiese her, und sang. The lea, and sang her song.Ach! denkt das Veilchen, wär ich nur Ah!" thinks the violet, "were I justDie schönste Blume der Natur, The fairest flower in the dustAch, nur ein kleines Weilchen, For just a little while yet,Bis mich das Liebchen abgepflückt Until that darling seizes meUnd an dem Busen matt gedrückt! And to her bosom squeezes me!Ach nur, ach nur For just, for justEin Viertelstündchen lang! A quarter hour long!"Ach! aber ach! das Mädchen kam Ah! And alas!  There came the maidUnd nicht in Acht das Veilchen nahm, And no heed to the violet paid,Ertrat das arme Veilchen.

Is torn apart.Meine Ruh' ist hin, My peace is gone,Mein Herz ist schwer, My heart is heavy,Ich finde sie nimmer I will find it neverUnd nimmermehr. and never more.Nach ihm nur schau ich For him only, I look Zum Fenster hinaus, Out the windowNach ihm nur geh ich Only for him do I goAus dem Haus. Out of the house.Sein hoher Gang, His tall walk,Sein' edle Gestalt, His noble figure,Seine Mundes Lächeln, His mouth's smile,Seiner Augen Gewalt, His eyes' power,Und seiner Rede And his mouth'sZauberfluß, Magic flow,Sein Händedruck, His handclasp,Und ach, sein Kuß! and ah!  his kiss!Meine Ruh' ist hin, My peace is gone,Mein Herz ist schwer, My heart is heavy,Ich finde sie nimmer I will find it neverUnd nimmermehr. and never more.Mein Busen drängt sich My bosom urges itselfNach ihm hin. toward him.Ach dürft ich fassen Ah, might I graspUnd halten ihn, And hold him!Und küssen ihn, And kiss him,So wie ich wollt, As I would wish,An seinen Küssen At his kissesVergehen sollt! I should die!An Sylvia To SylviaWas ist Silvia, saget an, Who is Silvia? what is she,Daß sie die weite Flur preist? That all our swains commend her?Schön und zart seh ich sie nahn, Holy, fair and wise is she;Auf Himmelsgunst und Spur weist, The heavens such grace did lend her,Daß ihr alles untertan. That she might admired be.Ist sie schön und gut dazu? Is she kind as she is fair?Reiz labt wie milde Kindheit; For beauty lives with kindness.Ihrem Aug' eilt Amor zu, Love doth to her eyes repair,Dort heilt er seine Blindheit To help him of his blindness,Und verweilt in süßer Ruh. And being helped, inhabits there.Darum Silvia, tön, o Sang, Then to Silvia let us sing,Der holden Silvia Ehren; That Silvia is excelling;Jeden Reiz besiegt sie lang, She excels each mortal thingDen Erde kann gewähren: Upon the dull earth dwelling;Kränze ihr und Saitenklang!
