by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Gefangen 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie hatte den blauen Blick gesenkt
Und sprach: "Wie soll ich's Euch lohnen,
Daß Ihr mir so viel Huld geschenkt,
Mög' Leid Euch immer verschonen."

Ich bin des Klofters arme Maid
Und bin des Klosters zu eigen,
Ich bin nicht frei, wie Ihr es seid,
was könnt' ich Euch Holdes erzeigen?"

Da sah er sie an so wonnescheu,
Es flammten seine Wangen.
""Diemudis (sprach er), du bist frei,
Herr Wernher ist gefangen!"" 

Confirmed with Hochland-lieder von Karl Stieler, Stuttgart, Meyer & Zeller's Verlag (Friedrich Vogel), 1879, p. 8
