possibly by François Villon (1431 - 1463)

Le souvenir de vous me tue
Language: French (Français) 
Le souvenir de vous me tue, 
Mon seul bien, quand je vous voy, 
Car je nous jure, sur ma foy, 
Que ma joye sans vous est mue. 
Quand je vous ay perdu de vue 
Je meurs de tristesse et d'ennoy : 
Le souvenir de vous me tue. 

Helas ! ma chere sœur tenue, 
Vueillez avoir pitie de moy, 
Car pour vous tant de mal recoy 
Qu'oncques feit amant soubz la nue 
Le souvenir de vous me tue.
