Minnelied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Der Holdseligen 
    Sonder Wank
  Sing' ich fröhlichen 
    Minnesang,
  Denn die Reine, 
  Die ich meine
Giebt mir lieblichen Habedank.
 
  Ach! bin inniglich 
    Minnewund!
  Gar zu minniglich 
    Dankt ihr Mund;
  Lacht so grüsslich, 
  Und so küsslich,
Daß mir's bebt in des Herzens Grund!
 
  Gleich der sonnigen 
    Veilchenau'
  Glänzt der Wonnigen 
  Augen Blau;
    Frisch und ründchen 
  Ist ihr Mündchen,
Wie die knospenden Ros' im Tau.
 
  Ihrer Wängelein 
    Lichtes Rot
  Hat kein Engelein, 
    So mir Gott !
  Eia! säß' ich 
  Unablässlig
Bei der Preißlichen bis zum Tod.

Confirmed with Deutsche Nationalliteratur, Band 49, Stuttgart [o.J.], pages 233-234.
