[NPM] guess what time of year it is

[angevin2]

It's NATIONAL POETRY MONTH. Which means that this lj will stop being a dead space and be FULL OF POEMS.

In honor of Whan That Aprille Day, I'm starting us off with some Middle English lyric. (There may be a video later ;))

Alysoun
Anon. English, 14th c.Bytuene Mersh and Averil

I've always loved this one, especially the chorus. I will even, in unguarded moments, admit that the epic fantasy I was writing as a freshman in college (the one with Tolkien's serial numbers insufficiently filed off) had a heroine named Alysoun.
