RONDEAU, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Come back, sweet friend, too long thou art away
Last Line: My heart is pained when thou dost absent stay.
Alternate Author Name(s): Froissart, Jehan


Come back, sweet friend, too long thou art away,
My heart is pained while thou dost absent stay;
I yearn for thee each moment of the day,
Come back, sweet friend, too long thou art away.

For till thou comest—wherefore then delay?—
I have not any one to make me gay;
Come back, sweet friend, too long thou art away,
My heart is pained when thou dost absent stay.
