English text
Hark! hark! each Tree its silence breaks;
the Box and Firr to talk begin;
Hark! this in the sprightly Violin,
That in the Flute distinctly speaks;
This in the Sprightly Violin distinctly speaks;
'Twas Sympathy their list'ning Brethren drew;
when to the Thracian Lyre with leafy wings they flew.
