Quant voi la rose espanir
Language: Old French (Ancien français)
Quant voi la rose espanir Contre la douce seison, Qe chantent cil oisellon Au tens que voient radoucir: Adone pens et puis soupir, Qant de ce qe plus desir Ne puis ioir Ne mon voloir acomplir. Deus por qoi mi fet languir Cele a la clere façon Por cui soupir! Bien voi q'il m'estuet mourir, Se ie par li n'ai guerison.
