Der tunkele sterne, sieh, der birget...

Der tunkele sterne,    sieh, der birget sich. 
Als tuo du, frouwe schône,   sô du sehest mich. 
Sô lâ du dîniu ougen gên   an einen andern man: 
son weiz doch lutzel ieman    wiez under uns zwein ist getân.

Dieser Stern im Dunkeln, sieh, verbirgt er sich,
Schöne Frau, so tue, wenn du siehest mich.
So lass du deine Augen gehn an einen andern Mann,
So weiss doch niemals jemand, was unter uns zwein ist getan.
