When flowers and leaves are growing;
And it pleases my heart to hear the swell
Of the birds' sweet chorus flowing
In the echoing wood;
And I love to see, all scattered around,
Pavilions, tents, on the martial ground;
And my spirit finds it good
To see, on the level plains beyond,
Gay knights and steeds caparison'd.
• Canso, st. 1 (tr. Thomas Roscoe)
Be m play lo douz temps de pascor
Que fai fuelhas e flors venir;
E play mi quant aug la baudor
Dels auzels que fan retentir
Lor chan per lo boscatge;
E plai me quan vey sus els pratz
Tendas e pavallos fermatz;
E plai m' en mon coratge,
Quan vey per campanhas rengatz
Cavalliers ab cavals armatz.
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Be m play lo douz temps de pascor
Que fai fuelhas e flors venir;
E play mi quant aug la baudor
Dels auzels que fan retentir
Lor chan per lo boscatge;
E plai me quan vey sus els pratz
Tendas e pavallos fermatz;
E plai m' en mon coratge,
Quan vey per campanhas rengatz
Cavalliers ab cavals armatz." in the context of "The beautiful spring delights me well,
When flowers and leaves are growing;
And it pleases my heart to hear the swell
Of the birds' sweet chorus flowing
In the echoing wood;
And I love to see, all scattered around,
Pavilions, tents, on the martial ground;
And my spirit finds it good
To see, on the level plains beyond,
Gay knights and steeds caparison'd.
• Canso, st. 1 (tr. Thomas Roscoe)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
