Softly the west wind blows;
Gaily the warm sun goes;
The earth her bosom sheweth,
And with all sweetness floweth.
[ ... ]
Do thou, O Spring most fair,
Squander thy care,
On [flower and leaf]1 and grain,
And leave me alone with pain!

6. O lovely Venus  [sung text checked 1 time]
Lovely Venus, what's to do If the loved loves not again? Beauty passes, youth's undone, Violets wither, 'spite of dew, Roses shrivel in the sun, Lilies all their whiteness stain. O lovely lady, take these home to you And who loves thee, love again.
