by Konrad der Junge, König (c1252 - 1268), as Künic Kuonrât der junge

Ich fröwe mich maniger bluomen rôt
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
Ich fröwe mich maniger bluomen rôt
die uns der meie bringen wil:
Die stuonden ê in grôzer nôt,
der winter tet in leides vil.
Der mei wils uns ergetzen wol
mit manigem wünneclîchen tage:
des ist diu welt gar fröiden vol. 

Waz hilfet mich diu sumerzît
und die vil liehten langen tage?
Mîn trôst an einer frowen lît
von der ich grôzen kumber trage.
Wil sie mir geben hôhen muot,
dâ tuot si tugentlîchen an
und daz mîn fröide wirdet guot. 

Swann ich mich von der lieben scheide,
sô muoz mîn fröide ein ende hân.  
Owê, sô stirbe ich lîht von leide
daz ich es ie it ir began.
Ichn weiz niht, frowe, waz minne sint:
mich lât diu liebe sêre engelten
daz ich der jâre bin ein kint.
