Something I Say of Love

Poem by Charles D'Orléans Collection SongsPeriod 15th centuryPrint

Something I say
Of love, not of its power.
Yet, for truth to appear,
I have chosen a Lady,

The most accomplished in goodness
That one could ever see.
Something I say
Of love, not of its power.

But to her I cannot at all
Speak, as I would wish,
Though, without deceit,
I am hers all my life:
Something I say.

Charles D’Orléans
