by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Hiltebold von Swanegawe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hiltebold von Swanegawe 
Weithin klingt dein Saitenspiel! 
Und dein Lied gilt holder Fraue, 
Welcher Sang hat süß'res Ziel? 

Wer in deinen Kemenaten 
Wandermüd zu Raste geht, 
Dessen Sinn ist wohl berathen, 
Ob die Welt im Winter steht: 

Denn beim Gold von Lied und Reben
Ist die längste Nacht nicht lang,
Mehr als Macht und Burg und Leben
Werth' ich solchen süßen Sang.
