Der Holdseligen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Holdseligen
Sonder Wank
Sing' ich fröhlichen
Minnesang;
Denn die [Reine]1,
Die ich meine,
Winkt mir lieblichen Habedank.
Ach! bin inniglich
Minnewund!
Gar zu minniglich
[Dankt]2 ihr Mund;
Lacht so grüsslich,
Lockt so küsslich,
Daß mir's bebt in des Herzens Grund!
Gleich der sonnigen
Veilchenau'
Glänzt der Wonnigen
Augen Blau;
Frisch und ründchen
Blüht ihr Mündchen,
Gleich der knospenden Ros' im Thau.
Ihrer Wängelein
Lichtes Roth
Hat kein Engelein,
[So mir]3 Gott !
Eia, säß' ich
Unablässig
Bei der Preißlichen bis zum Tod!
C. Loewe sets stanzas 1, 3, 2, 4, 1
