Waz ist für daz trûren guot daz wîp nâch...
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
Waz ist für daz trûren guot    daz wîp nâch lieben manne hât
gerne daz mîn herze erkande    wan ez sô betwungen stât
alsô redete ein frouwe schoene    an ein ende ich des wol koeme wan diu huote
selten sîn vergezzen wirt    in mînem muote
 
genuoge jehent daz grôziu staete    sî der beste frouwen trôst
des enmag ich nigt gelouben    sît mîn herze ist unerlôst
alsô redeten zwei geliebe    dô si von ein ander schieden ôwê minne
der dîn âne möhte sîn    daz waeren sinne
 
sô al diu werelt ruowe hât     sô mag ich eine entslâfen niet
daz kumt von einer frouwen schoene    der ich gerne waere liep
an der al mîn frôude stât    wie sol des iemer werden rât joch waene ich sterben
wes lie se got mir armen man    ze kâle werden
