English text

Blow, blow thou gentle wind
O’er the flower bejewelled lea!
Blow, blow, soft and low,
Breathing dulcet melody!
From the fragrant pinewood glade,
From the dusky forest’s shade,
Where the reedy brooklets flow.
Gentle wind, O softly flow!
Gentle wind, softly blow,
Gentle wind, blow soft and low.

Blow, blow thou gentle wind
O’er the ever restless sea!
Blow, blow, soft and low,
Whence upsprings the citron tree!
From the sunny lands afar,
Where the groves of olive are,
Where the skies but azure know.
Gentle wind, O softly blow!
Where the skies but azure know;
Gentle wind, O softly flow!
Gentle wind, softly blow,
Gentle wind, blow soft and low!
