Gracius and Gay
Harley Lyrics
Middle English
Circa 1450

The love of a beautiful woman brings a man sorrow at her departure.

"On her lies all my thoughts"

lyrics

Gracius and gay,
On hyr lytt all my thohth;
Butt sche rew on me today,
To deth sche hatt me broth.

Hyr feyngerys bytt long and small,
Hyr harmus byth rown and toth,
Hyr mowth as sweth as lycory,
Vn hyr lyytt all my thoth.

Hyr iyne bytt feyr and gray,
Hyr bruys bytt well ybenth,
Hyr rode as rede as roose yn May,
Hyr medyll ys small and gent.

Sche ys swett vnder schett,
I lowe hyr and no mo.
Sche hatte myne harth to kepe
In londes wher sche go.

Sodenly tell, y pray,
To the my low ys lend;
Kysse me yn my way
Onys ar y wend.
