MEDIEVAL NORMAN SONG: 1, by                    
First Line: "fair is her body, bright her eye"
Last Line: Giveth to lovers all great joy
Subject(s): Beauty


FAIR is her body, bright her eye,
With smiles her mouth is kind to me;
Then, think no evil, this is she
Whom God hath made my only joy.

Between the earth and heaven high
There is no maid so fair as she;
The beauty of her sweet body
Doth ever fill my heart with joy.

He is a knave, nor do I lie,
Who loveth her not heartily;
The grace that shines from her body
Giveth to lovers all great joy.
