Ich bin der Mönch Waltramus
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Ich bin der Mönch Waltramus]1, Dem seliges Leid geschah, Ich läute die Abendglocken: Vale carissima! Es steht eine Burg am Berge, Wo ich die Traute sah, Mein Herz klingt in die Glocken: Vale carissima! Fern soll mir stehen Minne, Und stand mir doch so nah! [Es steht ein Kloster im Tale]2, Vale carissima!
