When Loving Languor, Air de cour by Michel Lambert

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Collection Airs for one, II, III & IV partsThemes LovePeriod 17th century

When loving languor
Is in a heart,
In vain one seeks
The means to stay silent:
Love is a mystery
That one cannot hide.

The more a heart is forbidden
The more it speaks of it,
It explains itself everywhere
By a sigh of flame:
And the secret of the soul
Is written in the eyes.

Michel Lambert
