Nun ist wohl Sanges Ende! Wie hart ich davon schied', Die Wintersunnenwende Ist kommen für mein Lied! Es rief der Abt mit Zürnen Mich in die Zelle sein Und sprach: "Dein Herz sei hürnen Und deine Gedanken rein! Was heimlich du geschrieben, Mir ward es offenbart; Fluch über dein sündig Lieben, Fluch über Frau Irmingard! Doch eh' der Tag zerfallen, Das schwör' mir zu Gesicht: Sei von den Liedern allen Nicht eines mehr am Licht!"

Now it is surely the end of singing! However hard it might be to give it up, The winter solstice Has come for my song! In a rage the abbot called Me into his cell And said: "Your heart should be bone-hard And your thoughts pure! That which you have secretly written Was disclosed to me; A curse upon your sinful loving, A curse upon Frau Irmingard! But before this day has ended, This you must swear before me: Not one of all your songs Must still exist!"
