Cant voi l’aube
Language: French (Français) 
Cant voi l’aube dou jor venir, 
Nulle rien ne doi tant haïr, 
K’elle fait de moi departir 
Mon amin, cui j’ain per amors.

Or ne hais riens tant com le jour, 
Amins, ke me depairt de vos.

Je ne vos puis de jor veoir, 
Car trop redout l’apercevoir, 
Et se vos di trestout por voir 
K’en agait sont li enuious.

Or ne hais riens tant come le jour, 
Amins, ke me depairt de vos.

Quant je me gix dedens mon lit 
Et je resgairde encoste mi,
Je n’i truis poent de mon amin, 
Se m’en plaing a fins amerous.

Biaus dous amis, vos en ireis;
A Deu soit vos cors comandeis. 
Por Deu vos pri, ne m’oblieis! 
Je n’ain nulle rien tant com vos.

Or ne hais riens tant come le jour, 
Amins, ke me depairt de vos.
