Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer
How sweet! How fresh! This vernal day!
How musical the air!
Nature was never seen so gay,
Were but my Silvia near.
Hush wanton birds, your am'rous song
Alarms my tender breast;
Retire sweet whistling winds, be gone,
Retire; 'tis love's request.
How sweet! How fresh! This vernal day!
How musical the air!
Nature was never seen so gay,
Were but my Silvia near.
Hush wanton birds, your am'rous song
Alarms my tender breast;
Retire sweet whistling winds, be gone,
Retire; 'tis love's request.
