Vogelweid the Minnesinger	A
When he left this world of ours	B
Laid his body in the cloister	A
Under Wurtzburg's minster towers	B
	-
And he gave the monks his treasures	B
Gave them all with this behest	C
They should feed the birds at noontide	C
Daily on his place of rest	C
	-
Saying From these wandering minstrels	D
I have learned the art of song	E
Let me now repay the lessons	F
They have taught so well and long	E
	-
Thus the bard of love departed	C
And fulfilling his desire	A
On his tomb the birds were feasted	C
By the children of the choir	A
	-
Day by day o'er tower and turret	C
In foul weather and in fair	A
Day by day in vaster numbers	B
Flocked the poets of the air	A
	-
On the tree whose heavy branches	G
Overshadowed all the place	H
On the pavement on the tombstone	I
On the poet's sculptured face	H
	-
On the cross bars of each window	C
On the lintel of each door	A
They renewed the War of Wartburg	E
Which the bard had fought before	A
	-
There they sang their merry carols	D
Sang their lauds on every side	C
And the name their voices uttered	C
Was the name of Vogelweid	C
	-
Till at length the portly abbot	C
Murmured Why this waste of food	C
Be it changed to loaves henceforward	C
For our tasting brotherhood	C
	-
Then in vain o'er tower and turret	C
From the walls and woodland nests	J
When the minster bells rang noontide	C
Gathered the unwelcome guests	J
	-
Then in vain with cries discordant	C
Clamorous round the Gothic spire	A
Screamed the feathered Minnesingers	J
For the children of the choir	A
	-
Time has long effaced the inscriptions	J
On the cloister's funeral stones	J
And tradition only tells us	J
Where repose the poet's bones	J
	-
But around the vast cathedral	K
By sweet echoes multiplied	C
Still the birds repeat the legend	C
And the name of Vogelweid	C

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
