LE POMMIER DOUX, by                    
First Line: An apple tree there groweth
Subject(s): Love;soldiers


An apple tree there groweth,
Fly away, my heart, away;
An apple tree there groweth
Within my father's close;
So sweet,
Within my father's close.

Oh, bright is every leaf thereon,
Fly away, my heart, away;
Oh, bright is every leaf thereon
And sweet the fruit that grows
So sweet,
And sweet the fruit that grows.

The King's three lovely daughters,
Fly away, my heart, away;
The King's three lovely daughters
Beneath its branches lay,
So sweet,
Beneath its branches lay.

The youngest wakens lightly,
Fly away, my heart, away;
The youngest wakens lightly:
My sister, here is day!
So sweet,
My sister, here is day!

'Tis but a star that's gilding,
Fly away, my heart, away;
'Tis but a star that's gilding
With its sweet light our love,
So sweet,
With its sweet light our love.

Our lovers ride to battle,
Fly away, my heart, away;
Our lovers ride to battle
Their love for us to prove,
So sweet,
Their love for us to prove.

And if they gain the battle,
Fly away, my heart, away;
And if they gain the battle,
Our love shall crown the day,
So sweet,
Our love shall crown the day.

Oh, let them win or let them fail,
Fly away, my heart, away;
Oh, let them win or let them fail,
Our love is theirs alway,
So sweet,
Our love is theirs alway.
