Le jour m'est nuict

Le jour m'est nuict
Joye me nuit
Repos ne me sont que labours
Brief j'embrasse tout le rebours
De ce qu'aux aultres plaist et duit,

Espoir me fuit
Dueil me conduit
Je despite contre secours
Le jour m'est nuict
J''ai nom sans bruit.

Feuille sans fruit
Dures espines me sont fleurs 
Ainsi me gouvernent Amours
Sans avoir aultre sauf conduit
Le jour m'est nuict.

by Martin Le Franc (c1410-1461)
