by Wernher[r] von Tegernsee (flourished 1172)
Translation

Es ist ein Schnee gefallen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es ist ein Schnee gefallen
und ist doch nicht die Zeit,
zur schönsten Maid von allen
ist mir der Weg verschneit.

Mein Haus geht mir zu Ende,
es ist mir worden alt,
der Wind streicht durch die Wände,
mein Stüblein ist gar kalt.

Mein Lieb, lass dich's erbarmen, 
daß ich so elend bin,
schließ mich in deine Arme:
so fährt der Winter hin.
