| - | |
| Mounts Sir Curt his noble beast | B |
| To his mistress' home repairing | A |
| - | |
| There to hold his wedding feast | B |
| When a threatening foe advances | C |
| - | |
| From a desert rocky spot | D |
| For the fray they couch their lances | C |
| - | |
| Not delaying speaking not | D |
| - | |
| Long the doubtful fight continues | C |
| - | |
| Victory then for Curt declares | C |
| Conqueror though with wearied sinews | C |
| - | |
| Forward on his road he fares | C |
| When he sees though strange it may be | E |
| - | |
| Something 'midst the foliage move | F |
| 'Tis a mother with her baby | E |
| - | |
| Stealing softly through the grove | G |
| - | |
| And upon the spot she beckons | C |
| - | |
| Wherefore love this speed so wild | H |
| Of the wealth thy storehouse reckons | C |
| - | |
| Hast thou nought to give thy child | H |
| Flames of rapture now dart through him | I |
| - | |
| And he longs for nothing more | J |
| While the mother seemeth to him | I |
| - | |
| Lovely as the maid of yore | J |
| - | |
| But he hears his servants blowing | A |
| - | |
| And bethinks him of his bride | K |
| And ere long while onward going | A |
| - | |
| Chances past a fair to ride | K |
| In the booths he forthwith buys him | I |
| - | |
| For his mistress many a pledge | L |
| But alas some Jews surprise him | I |
| - | |
| And long standing debts allege | L |
| - | |
| And the courts of justice duly | E |
| - | |
| Send the knight to prison straight | M |
| Oh accursed story truly | E |
| - | |
| For a hero what a fate | M |
| Can my patience such things weather | N |
| - | |
| Great is my perplexity | E |
| Women debts and foes together | N |
| - | |
| Ah no knight escapes scot free | E |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
