Here you will find the Poem Tanzweise of poet Walther von der Vogelweide
'Lady,' I said, 'this garland wear! For thou wilt wear it gracefully; And on thy brow 'twill sit so fair, And thou wilt dance so light and free; Had I a thousand gems, on thee, Fair one! their brilliant light should shine: Would'st thou such a gift accept from me,-- O doubt me not,-- it should be thine. 'Lady, so beautiful thou art, That I on thee the wreath bestow, 'Tis the best gift I can impart; But whiter, rosier flowers, I know, Upon the distant plain they're springing, Where beauteously their heads they rear, And birds their sweetest songs are singing: Come! let us go and pluck them there!' She took the beauteous wreath I chose, And, like a child at praises glowing, Her cheeks blushed crimson as the rose When by the snow-white lily growing: But all from those bright eyes eclipse Received; and then, my toil to pay, Kind, precious words fell from her lips: What more than this I shall not say.
