(from Massenet's "Werther")
[Werther is madly in love with charlotte, his friends wife. To forget her, he has run away, but when he returns,
he finds he is more in love than ever. Werther recites a favorite poem for charlotte, and at last realizes the
fatal truth: Charlotte can never return his love.]
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon, viendra le voyageur,
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere,
Et ses yeax vainement chercheront ma splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que misere!
Helas! Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
