Poems by Charles D’Orléans

French author, born on 24/11/1394 at Paris (France), deceased on 05/01/1465 at Amboise (France).

Charles d'Orléans, a prince and nephew of King Charles VI, was taken prisoner at Agincourt in 1415 and remained captive in England for twenty-five years. There he wrote ballades and songs, and later, back at Blois, rondeaux that became famous, such as "Le temps a laissé son manteau." Father of the future Louis XII, he gathered poets at his court in Blois, among them François Villon.

Do Not Knock at the Door of My Thought
Do You Doubt It
France, once they used to call you
From the Deepest Depths of My Melancholy
God, How Good She Is to Look Upon
He Who Has Drunk All His Shame
I Love Whoever Loves Me
In Dream, Wish, and Thought
In Winter, Fire, Fire!
Is She Not Adorned with Every Good?
Let Me Think at My Ease
Little Peddler, Little Basket!
Love’s Quartermasters Have Lodged Me
My Heart Has Commanded Me
My Heart, Stop Up Your Ears
My Heart, Stop Up Your Ears
My Only Love
My Only Love, So Long Desired!
Now This, Now That
Something I Say of Love
Summer’s Harbingers Have Come
The First Day of the Month of May
The Season Has Shed Its Cloak
Trust in It!
What a Game We Make of It
What Do You Advise Me, My Heart?
When the Next Feast Day Came
Who? What? How? To Whom? Why?
Why Have You Sold Me, Youth
Will I Ever See the End
Winter, You Are Nothing but a Villain
Within My Book of Thought
Young New Lovers
Your Mouth Says: Kiss Me
