Good Morning My Heart, Good Morning My Sweet Life

Poem by Pierre De Ronsard Collection Second Book of LovesThemes LovePeriod 16th century

Song

Good morning my heart, good morning my sweet life.
Good morning my eye, good morning my dear friend,
Ah! good morning my all-beautiful,
My dainty one, good morning,
My delights, my love,
My sweet spring, my sweet new flower,
My sweet pleasure, my sweet little dove,
My sparrow, my gentle turtledove,
Good morning, my sweet rebel.

Ah! must someone reproach me
That I have a heart harder than rock toward you
For having left you, mistress,
To go follow the King,
Begging I know not what
That the common folk call a largesse?
Rather perish honor, court, and riches,
Than for goods ever leave you again,
My sweet and beautiful goddess.

Pierre de Ronsard
