by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)

Ma seule amour, ma joye et ma maistresse
Language: French (Français) 
Ma seule amour, ma joye et ma maistresse,
Puisqu'il me fault loing de vous demorer,
Je n'ay plus riens, à me reconforter,
Qu'un souvenir pour retenir lyesse.

En allegant, par Espoir, ma destresse,
Me couvendra le temps ainsi passer,
Ma seule amour, ma joye et ma maistresse,
Puisqu'il me fault loing de vous demorer.

Car mon las cueur, bien garny de tristesse,
S'en est voulu avecques vous aler,
Ne je ne puis jamais le recouvrer,
Jusques verray vostre belle jeunesse,
Ma seule amour, ma joye et ma maistresse.
