Walther von der Vogelweide

Here you will find the Poem Worthy Art Thou, Returning Home of poet Walther von der Vogelweide

Worthy Art Thou, Returning Home

Worthy art thou, returning home, the bell
For thee should ring, and crowds come gathering round
To gaze, how as a gladdening miracle
Thou com'st, of sin or shame all blameless found.
Man's praise and woman's love shall thus abound;
And this thy glorious welcome shall dispel
The slanderous words which some have breathed around,
That honour bade thee still at distance dwell.
