Song--A Virelai
What’s this song I hear
Its lyrics so clear
Haunting
My heart does appear
To jump out its sphere
Flitting.
It’s a tune that’s dear
Long ago, not here,
Taunting.
Please stop its playing
And end this longing
For her
She was my darling
Gone without warning
After
Her face a painting
Her love now fading
Never.
Oh, cure this fever
Help me recover
From fear
That I’ll forever
Be in her power
Adhere
If I can’t have her
To die I’d rather
The bier.
