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.
