An organization known as (*)
In a poem written in this language, a girl climbs a mulberry tree to rescue a bird, but slips off a branch and conveniently lands in her beloved's arms. A poem primarily written in a different language switches to this one to introduce a character who beseeches "You, by that power, / which guides you to the summit of the stairs, / to remember, when the time is fit, my pain." The poet Paul Blackburn published an anthology of poems from this language, which broadly came in "rich," "light," and "closed" forms. An organization known as (*) Félibrige was founded to promote literature in this language, whose "old" speakers include a poet Dante regarded as the "better smith," the inventor of the sestina Arnaut Daniel. A long poem in this language titled Mirèio was the masterwork of its chief modern proponent, Frédéric Mistral. For 10 points, name this language of the lyric poems sung by troubadours in 12th century southern France.
