by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Liederklingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O nicht allein in wilder Schlacht
Hab' ich um Ehr' gestritten,
Das Singen hat so süße Macht
In holder Frauen Mitten!

O Wolferam von Eschinbach,
O Walther, deine Weisen,
Ich sang in heiler Zeit sie nach,
Ich will sie wund noch preisen.

Als junger Fant im Land umher
Zog ich zu frohem Gasten,
Und jetzt soll rosten ganz mein Speer,
Mein Saitenspiel soll rasten.

Denn der es trug, ist todeswund
Und soll es nimmer tragen,
O weh, wie hart verstummt ein Mund,
Der soviel wüßt' zu sagen!
