by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Bertrand de Born
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein edler Stolz in allen Zügen, Auf seiner Stirn Gedankenspur, Er konnte jedes Herz besiegen, Bertrand de Born, der Troubadour. Es kirrten seine süßen Töne Die Löwin des Plantagenets; Die Tochter auch, die beiden Söhne, Er sang sie alle in sein Netz. Wie er den Vater selbst betörte! In Tränen schmolz des Königs Zorn, Als er ihn lieblich reden hörte, Den Troubadour, Bertrand de Born.
