The poem runs eighty-eight lines, with the incipit Amichs Garaus, en cuy fis prets s'agença.
Each verse ends with the refrain mirant la flor de l'ametlha (or amenlha, "watching the flower of the almond tree").
This poem is praised both by Martí de Riquer i Morera and Josep Romeu i Figueras for its beauty, delicacy, and originality.
Though written in the language and style of the troubadours of the "classical epoch" (c.1160–1220) and infused with the sentiments of courtly love, it lacks the desperation and the rhetorical flourish associated with Catalan poets of the late Middle Ages.
Per fin'amors naix e fulha dins lo meu cor una branca, que de tot cossir me despulha contemplant-vos, domna franca.
