My Only Love, Poem by Charles D'Orléans

Poem by Charles D'Orléans Collection SongsPeriod 15th century

My only love, my joy and my mistress,
Since I must dwell far away from you,
I have nothing left to comfort me
But a memory to hold on to gladness.

In lightening my distress through Hope,
I shall have to pass the time this way,
My only love, my joy and my mistress,
Since I must dwell far away from you.

For my weary heart, well furnished with sorrow,
Has wished to go away with you,
Nor can I ever recover it,
Until I see your lovely youth,
My only love, my joy and my mistress.

Charles D’Orléans
