Here you will find the Poem Chill Penury And Winter's Power of poet Walther von der Vogelweide
Chill penury and winter's power Upon my soul so hard have prest, That I would fain have seen no more The red flow'rs that the meadows drest: Yet, truth! 'twere hard, if I were gone, Upon the merry-making throng, That loud with joy was wont to ring, And o'er the green to dance and spring!
