Viel böse Zeit hab' ich verzehrt
 (Sung text for setting by M. Zenger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Viel böse Zeit hab' ich verzehrt, eh' ich dich hab' gefunden:
Es hat die Welt mein Herz versehrt mit tausend roten Wunden. 
Die Weiber fand ich falsch und schwank und keine hatte Treue: 
Da ward das Herz mir zag und krank, der Minne hatt' ich Reue.
Doch du bist treu, dir trau' ich gern; läßt du dich falsch erfinden, 
Wird auch dem schönen Morgenstern sein heller Glanz erblinden.
