Leichte Lüfte, linde, süße,
  Wehend sanft im Haine:
Bringt ihr von der Liebsten Grüße,
  Oder holt ihr meine?

Wollt ihr von der Holden sagen,
  Wie sie mein gedenke,
Wie sie nun in stillen Klagen
  Seufzend sich versenke?

 ... 

Fliegt mit euren leichten Schwingen
  Nur von Ort zu Orte!
Weiß ich doch, ihr müßt mir bringen
  Grüße, Klagen, Worte!

 ... 

Wozu glaubt ihr, daß ich Lieder
  Euch vertrau, und Klagen,
Als nun zur Geliebten wieder
  Schnell mich hinzutragen?
