Ballads and Lyrics of Old France (4)

RONDEL. FRANCOIS VILLON,GOODBYE！

    the tears are in my eyes； Farewell, farewell, my prettiest； Farewell, of women born the best； Good-bye！ the saddest of good-byes. Farewell！ with many vows and sighs My sad heart leaves you to your rest； Farewell！ the tears are in my eyes； Farewell！ from you my miseries Are more than now may be confessed, And most by thee have I been blessed, Yea, and for thee have wasted sighs； Goodbye！ the last of my goodbyes.
