from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Sunnenschin
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
Schin uns, de leve Sunne,
giff uns den hellen schin!
schin uns twe lef tosamen
de gern bi einander sin!

So dep in jennem dale
dar licht ein kolder schne,
de schne kan nicht vorschmelten,
gades wille mot geschen.

Gades wille is ergangen,
vorschmolten is uns de schne.
got gesegen di, vader unde moder!
du süst mi nümmermer.

Confirmed with Alte hoch- und niederdeutsche Volkslieder in fünf Büchern herausgegeben von Ludwig Uhland, Erste Abtheilung, Stuttgart und Tübingen, J. G. Cotta'scher Verlag, 1844, pages 75-76.
