English text
1. Cease a while ye winds to blow,
Cease ye roaring streams to flow;
Hushed be every other noise,
I want to hear my lover's voice.
2. Where's the brook, the rock, the tree?
Hark, a sound – I think 'tis he!
'Tis not he; yet night comes on.
Where's my love? Wanderer gone?
3. Loud I'll speak, to make him hear.
'Tis I who call, my love, my dear!
The time is come. Why this delay?
Alas! my wanderer's lost his way.
– The Bull-Finch, London, 1775, Song 202
