The rose raileth hire rode,<br />

The leves on the lighte wode<br />

Wax<strong>en</strong> all with wille.<br />

The mone mandeth hire ble,<br />

The lilye is lossom to se,<br />

The f<strong>en</strong>nel and the fille.<br />

Wowes this wilde drakes,<br />

Miles murgeth huere makes,<br />

Ase strem that striketh stille.<br />

Mody m<strong>en</strong>eth, so doth mo;<br />

Ichot ich am on of tho<br />

For love that likes ille.<br />

The mone mandeth hire light,<br />

So doth the semly sonne bright,<br />

Wh<strong>en</strong> briddes singeth breme.<br />

Deawes donketh the dounes,<br />

Deores with huere derne rounes<br />

Domes for to deme.<br />

Wormes woweth under cloude,<br />

Wimm<strong>en</strong> waxeth wounder proude,<br />

So well it wol hem seme.<br />

Yef me shall wonte wille of on,<br />

This wunne wele I wole forgon,<br />

And wiht in wode be fleme.<br />

4. The long night<br />

Mirie it is, while sumer ilast,<br />

With fugheles song.<br />

Oc nu necheth windes blast<br />

And weder strong.<br />

Ey! ey! what this night is long!<br />

And ich, with well michel wrong,<br />

Soregh and murne and fast.<br />

The rose puts on her rosy face<br />

The leaves in the bright wood<br />

All grow with pleasure.<br />

The moon s<strong>en</strong>ds out her radiance,<br />

The lily is lovely to see,<br />

The f<strong>en</strong>nel and the wild thyme.<br />

These wild drakes make love,<br />

Animals cheer their mates,<br />

Like a stream that flows softly.<br />

The passionate man complains, as do more:<br />

I know that I am one of those<br />

That is unhappy for love.<br />

The moon s<strong>en</strong>ds out her light,<br />

So does the fair, bright sun,<br />

Wh<strong>en</strong> birds sing gloriously.<br />

Dews wet the downs,<br />

Animals with their secret cries<br />

For telling their tales.<br />

Worms make love under ground,<br />

Wom<strong>en</strong> grow exceedingly proud,<br />

So well it will suit them.<br />

If I don't have what I want of one,<br />

All this happiness I will abandon,<br />

And quickly in the woods be a fugitive.<br />

4. The long night<br />

Pleasant it is, while summer lasts,<br />

With the birds' song.<br />

But now the blast of the wind draws nigh<br />

And severe weather.<br />

Alas! how long this night is,<br />

And I, with very great wrong,<br />

Sorrow and mourn and fast.<br />

La rose a mis son bel habit,<br />

Les feuilles dans le bois brillant,<br />

Tout pousse avec plaisir.<br />

La lune répand sa lumière,<br />

Le lys est si beau à voir,<br />

Ainsi que l’aneth et le thym.<br />

Les canards sauvages font l’amour,<br />

Les animaux acclam<strong>en</strong>t leurs part<strong>en</strong>aires,<br />

Tel un flot qui s’écoule tranquillem<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

L’homme passionné se plaint, et (je) fais plus :<br />

Je sais que je suis un de ceux-là que<br />

L’amour r<strong>en</strong>d malheureux.<br />

La lune répand sa lumière,<br />

Le clair soleil <strong>en</strong> fait autant,<br />

Quand les oiseaux chant<strong>en</strong>t glorieusem<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

La rosée recouvre les sols,<br />

Les bêtes us<strong>en</strong>t de leurs cris secrets<br />

Pour se raconter leurs histoires.<br />

Les vers font l’amour sous la terre,<br />

Les femmes devi<strong>en</strong>n<strong>en</strong>t si fières,<br />

Tout à leur gré.<br />

Si je n’obti<strong>en</strong>s pas de l’une d’elles ce que je veux,<br />

J’abandonnerai toute cette joie<br />

Et m’<strong>en</strong>fuirai dans la forêt.<br />

4. La longue nuit<br />

Il fait bon, tant que l’été dure,<br />

Avec les chants d’oiseaux.<br />

Mais à prés<strong>en</strong>t le souffle du v<strong>en</strong>t s’approche<br />

Et le temps (s’annonce) rude.<br />

Ah ! que cette nuit est longue,<br />

Et moi, plein de remords,<br />

Je m’afflige, pleure et jeûne.
