Ez stuont ein frouwe alleine 
und warte über heide 
und warte ire liebe, 
so gesach si valken fliegen. 
"So wol dir, valke, daz du bist ! 
Du fliugest swar dir liep : 
du erkiusest dir in dem walde 
einem boum der dir gevalle. 
alsô hân auch ich getân : 
ich erkôs mir selber einem man 
den erwelten mîniu ougen. 
daz nîdent schoene frouwen. 
owê wan lânt si mir min liep ? 
Jô 'ngerte ich ir de keiner trûtes niet."
