by Alexandre de Lacharme, Père (1695 - 1767)
Translation by Johann Cramer

Wenn den Stamm bewegt der Wind
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Wenn den Stamm bewegt der Wind,
Regt sich's Blatt am Baum;
Wenn dein Herz mich wahrhaft minnt,
Halt' die Lieb' im Zaum! 

Wenn zu toll es macht der Wind, 
Fällt herab die Blüthe;
Willst, ich sei dir hold gesinnt, 
Dich vor'm Stürmen hüte!
