Kind shade, o´ melancholy deity,
Draw near, and take this joy away from me,
For it perturbs my heart´s soft quietude

Goddess...

Do not deprive, o´ Nymph, my inward mood
Of the sweet sadness of your company,

For she must sigh for you unceasingly
Whose only solace in your love´s imbued

Goddess presiding over solitude
Goddess...
Goddess presiding over solitude
Goddess...

Without her sorrow piercing deeper still
Pay heed, o´ Nymph, to what I beg you

For she must sigh for you unceasingly
Whose only solace in your love´s imbued
Delay the moment not a moment more,
The sweet sad days that I so sadly fill

Goddess presiding over solitude
Goddess...
