The
theme of the cantata is
the separation of lovers
brought on by the
enforced departure of the
beloved on a sea voyage.
The protagonist likens
his tears to the waves
surrounding the boat and
his sighs to the winds
that propel it, the two
images giving rise to
some lively word
painting. Both arias are
in slow tempo, but the
concluding cavata lends a
welcome touch of
animation to the
cantata.
