¶Lyrics / Text

Wher be ye my love, my love, And wher be ye gone? I am so sad To make me glad Yt is but yow my love alone. Yower company Makes me so mery From care and from all mone But when ye mysse [but when you are absent] No Joy it is But yow my love alone, alone. When ye be hens With your absence My myrth and joy is gone Me to comfort Is no resort But yow my love alone, alone. The tyme passyng To daunce or syng, To swage sum what my mone [to assuage somewhat my moan] Is nothing No comforting But yow my love alone, alone. Thus with my care With your welfare Crist kepe you from your fone [Christ keep you from your foes] And God above Kepe yor love For yow have mine my love alone.
