by Hugo von Montfort (1357 - 1423)

Wächterlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mich straft ein Wachter des morgens frü
Er sprach, wem wilt du haben ruh Din singen abelan,
Lieder tichten tu nit mer,
Das rat ich dir by miner Er,
davon man tanzen tut.

Wachter, des wil ich volgen dir.
Der Lied geticht ich niemmer mer,
des solt du sicher sin,
Sus müss ich loben selge weib,
Die sind der welt doch Zeit vertreib,
ach got wie lieb und zart.

Ich wolt, wer frouwen Übel sprech,
das man in durch die zungen stech,
Das laster müsst er han.
