As at sunset I was straying
Silently the wood along,
Damon on his flute was playing,And the rocks gave back the song,
So la, Ia! &c.Softly tow'rds him then he drew me;
Sweet each kiss he gave me then!
And I said, "Play once more to me!"And he kindly play'd again,
So la, la! &c.All my peace for aye has fleeted,
All my happiness has flown;
Yet my ears are ever greetedWith that olden, blissful tone,
So la, la! &c.1791.
