Song 1 Transcription:
On n’entend plus le chant
des amoureux Oiseaux
ni le murmure des ruisseaux
nos prés nos Bois
ont perdu leur parure
ont perdu leur parure
l’Hiver, l’affreux hiver
désole ce séjour
nos prés nos Bois
ont perdu leur parure
l’Hiver l’affreux hiver
désole ce séjour.
On &c.
[…sé]jour
ah! s’il pouvoit chasser
chasser l’amour
comme les fleurs et la Verdure
que j’aimerois sa rigueur
que j’aimerois sa rigueur
mais hélas! son pouvoir peut changer la nature
son pouvoir peut changer la nature
et ne sçauroit changer mon cœur
et ne scauroit changer mon cœur
son pouvoir peut changer la Nature
et ne sçauroit changer mon cœur
et ne sçauroit changer mon cœur.
