Dawn Song 
Us cavaliers si jazia by Bertran d'Alamano(fl. 1230-1260 or Gaucelm Faidir (fl. 1180-1215)
(English lyrics translated from Provencal by Willard Trask)

A knight beside his sweet desire Between his kisses makes inquire: Sweet, what is to do my dear? Dark must end as day draws near. I hear the watchman's 'Up away;' On the heels of dawn runs day.  Sweet, if day and dawn for ever Ended were that lovers sever, Best of blessings where true knight Lies beside his best delight. I hear the watchman's 'Up away;' On the heels of dawn runs day.  Sweet, be sure there is no smarting Pain can match with lover's parting; I myself can count its pains By how little night remains. I hear the watchman's 'Up away;' On the heels of dawn runs day.  Sweet, I go but leave thee knowing I am thine wherever going; Keep me ever in thy mind For my heart remains behind. I hear the watchman's 'Up away;' On the heels of dawn runs day.  Sweet, without you death would find me, Love put all my life behind me. I'll be back as soon as fled, For without you I am dead. I hear the watchman's 'Up away;' On the heels of dawn runs day.
