L'amour de moi, s'y est enclose
Language: French (Français)
L'amour de moi, s'y est enclose Dedans un joli jardinet Où croît la rose et le muguet, Et aussi fait la passerose. Ce jardin est bel et plaisant, Il est garni de toutes fleurs. On y prend son ébattement, Autant la nuit comme le jour. Hélas ! il n'est si douce chose Que de ce doux rossignolet Qui chante au soir, au matinet. Quand il est las, il se repose. Je la vis l'autre jour cueillir La violette en un vert pré. Le plus belle qu'oncque je vis, Et la plus plaisante à mon gré. Je l'ai regardé une pose ; Elle était blanche comme lait Et douce comme un agnelet, Vermeille et fraîche comme rose.
