Lyrics to Handel's Where e're you walk from his opera Semele

A few of these lines are repeated, but this is esentially the content of the song. It really is a rather flowery love song. Listen

Where'er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade;
Trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a shade:
Where'er you tread, the blushing flow'rs shall rise;
and all things flourish where'er you turn you eyes.
Where'er you walk, etc.
