Gentle shadows, friendly forests

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Gentle shadows, 
friendly forests, 
my beloved 
dearest lover, 
who can tell me, where did he go? 

Flattering little breezes 
fly to him with a message. 
Tell him to return, 
and render to me 
that peace I no longer have.
