In den Talen der Provence
Ist der Minnesang entsprossen,
Kind des Frühlings und der Minne,
Holder, inniger Genossen.
Blütenglanz und süße Stimme
Konnt' an ihm den Vater zeigen,
Herzensglut und tiefes Schmachten
War ihm von der Mutter eigen.
Selige Provencetale,
Üppig blühend wart ihr immer,
Aber eure reichste Blüte
Ist des Minneliedes Schimmer.
Jene tapfern, schmucken Ritter,
Welch ein edler Sängerorden!
Jene hochbeglückte Damen,
Wie sie schön gefeiert worden!
