Gentle zephyr
Language: English
Gentle Zephyr, as you fly, If you kiss my fair one's ear, Whisper soft that you're a sigh, But from whose heart she must not hear. Limpid rill, if e'er my love Near thy gurgling runnel rove, Murmur that from tears you rise, But tell her not from whose sad eyes!

Holder Zephyr
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Holder Zephyr, wenn dein Hauch hin den Flug zur Liebsten nahm, Künde, daß ein Seufzer du, doch sag' ihr night, von wem er kam. Klarer Quell, wenn je mein Lieb willend an dem Ufer bleib, murm'le, Tränen schwelten dich, doch sag ihr, wer sie weinte, nicht!
