Lyrics: Anon

La palme douce, avant que feuilles rendre,
En terre fait de racine une brasse.
Amour aussi, premier qu'à merci prendre,
Un serviteur temps et service passe;
Et toutefois, nul de soi ne déchasse.
Ce faux amour, car le persévérer
De ceux qui sont suivant d'elles la trace,
Donne confort au moins à espérer.

The sweet palm, before producing leaves,
makes a supporting root system under ground.
Love too, when it first takes root,
spends time and care in thrall;
yet never reveals anything of itself.
This treacherous love, to conserve itself
from those looking for its signs,
gives encouragement, at least to hope.
