Translations from the French of Madame de la Mothe Guion

#	Text	Tune
1	"Tis folly all" let me no more be told
2	Ye linnets, let us try, beneath this grove
3	I am fond of the swallow - I learn from her flight
4	Ah! reign, wherever man is found!
5	'Twas my purpose, on a day
6	There's not an echo round me
7	My Spouse! in whose presence I live
8	All are indebted much to thee
9	My heart is easy, and my burden light
10	The fountain in its source
11	O love, of pure and heavenly birth!
12	Thou hast no lightnings, O thou Just!
13	O thou, by long experience tried
14	How happy are the new-born race
15	Love is the Lord whom I obey
16	Source of love, and light of day
17	Love! if thy destined sacrifice am I
18	Blest! who, far from all mankind
19	Oh loved! but not enough—though dearer far
20	From thorny wilds a monster came
21	Since life in sorrow must be spent
22	In vain ye woo me to your harmless joys
23	Jealous, and with love o'erflowing
24	Peace has unveiled her smiling face
25	I place an offering at thy shrine
26	To lay the soul that loves him low
27	Sun! stay thy course, this moment stay
28	I suffer fruitless anguish day by day
29	Sleep at last has fled these eyes
30	Season of my purest pleasure
31	Night! how I love thy silent shades
32	Long plunged in sorrow, I resign
33	Sweet tenants of this grove!
34	Still, still, without ceasing
35	Source of love, my brighter sun
36	"I love the Lord" is still the strain
37	Wilds horrid and dark with o'er shadowing trees
