Si du malheur (Anonymous, set by R. de Lassus) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Si du malheur vous aviez cognoissance,
Dont ma vie est à rude mort contrainte,
Verriez à l'oeil ma perdurable crainte
D'estre oublié par la trop longue absencee :
Abbsent je meurs, & en vostre presence
Present avez de moy l'ame ravie,
Hela,s ! c'est bien par divine puissance
Mourir auprès, & loing perdre la vie.
