One smiling summer morning

P. Verdelot

One smiling summer morning,

Ah, me!

My love, my passion scorning,

Bade me be gone away;

Her hand she me denied:

No more they suit with burning words be pleading,

For all is vain; your words I am not heeding.

Heart and hand I give together.

And so, goodbye, this pleasant summer weather.

Your mirth you may reveal it,

My grief I scarcely can conceal it.
