Sît mich der tôt beroubet hât
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
Sît mich der tôt beroubet hât
des herren mîn,
swie nû diu werlt nâch im gestât,
daz lâze ich sîn.
der vröide mîn den besten teil
hât er dâ hin,
schüefe ich nû der sêle heil,
daz wær ein sin.
Mac ich íme ze helfe komen,
mîn vart, die ich hân genomen,
ich wíl ime ir hálber jehen.
vor gote müeze ich in gesehen.
