paroles de chanson Tell Me, True Love - Gérard Lesne

Tell me, true love, where shall I seek thy being?
In flowers or meads, in boughs or groves eking?
In reason's nooks, or passions never seeing?
In men on earth, or women's minds attacking?
Thou canst not die, and therefore living
Therefore living, tell me, where is thy seat?
Why doth this edge expel thee?
O fairest mind, enriched with love's residing
Retaining amuse in hearts let some seed fall
Instead of weeds, love's fruits may have abiding
That harvest you shall reap in chrysal
O happy love! more happy man that finds thee
More happy saint that leaves his thorns unbind thee
