Walther von der Vogelweide : the single-stanza lyrics

"Walther von der Vogelweide (c.1170-1230) was the greatest German lyric poet of the Middle Ages. He created and performed his songs for the noblest courts of the Holy Roman Empire. Though every German-speaking schoolchild can recite some of Walther's lines, his work is hardly known in the English-speaking world, largely because it has been available until now only in scattered and poorly annotated translations."
