(werther) (why do you wake me now?)

Pourquoi me reveillero souffle du printemos?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demaindans le vallon
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere
Et ses yeux vainement chercheront ma splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que misere!
Helas! pourquoi me reveillero souffle du printemps?

Why do you wake me nowo sweetest breath of spring?
On my brow i sense your most gentle caress
Yet how soon creeps on the time.
Filled with tempests and with distress!
Tomorrow through the valethe traveler will pass
Recalling all of the glory of the past.
And in vain he will search for the bloom of my youth
And nothing will he find but deep pain and endless sorrow.
Alas! why do you wake me nowo sweetest breath of spring!
