by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)

Cent fois le jour, à part moi je repense
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Cent fois le jour, à part moi je repense,
Que c'est qu'Amour, quelle humeur l'entretient,
Quel est son arc, et quelle place il tient
Dedans nos cœurs, et quelle est son essence.

Je conoi bien des astres la puissance,
Je sai, comment la mer fuit, et revient,
Comme en son Tout le Monde se contient:
De lui sans plus me fuit la conoissance.

Si sai-je bien, que c'est un puissant Dieu,
Et que, mobile, ores il prend son lieu
Dedans mon cœur, et ores dans mes veines:

Et que depuis qu'en sa douce prison
Dessous mes sens fit serve ma raison
Toujours, mal sain, je n'ai langui qu'en peines.
