L'amour de moi, s'y est enclose

L'amour de moi1, 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.

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 regardé une pose,
Elle était blanche comme lait
Et douce comme un agnelet.
Vermeille et fraîche comme rose.

by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist , 15^th century, from Le Manuscript de Bayeux
