III + 

Poplars of the meadow, + 

Fountains of Madrid, + 

Now I am absent from you + 

All are slandering me. + 

Each of you is telling + 

How evil my chance is + 

The wind among the branches, + 

The fountains in their welling + 

To every one telling + 

You were happy to see. + 

Now I am absent from you + 

All are slandering me. + 

With good right I may wonder + 

For that at my last leaving + 

The plants with sighs heaving + 

And the waters in tears were. + 

That you played double, never + 

Thought I this could be, + 

Now I am absent from you + 

All are slandering me. + 

There full in your presence + 

Music you sought to waken, + 

Later I’m forsaken + 

Since you are ware of my absence. + 

God, wilt Thou give me patience + 

Here while suffer I ye, + 

Now I am absent from you + 

All are slandering me. + 
