L'amour de moi
 (Sung text for setting by Anonymous)
 Matches base text
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.

Note: this is the version with modernized spelling.
