HEINRICH FRAUENLOB.

At Worms, about our Lady’s shrine
A minstrel’s gently haunting shade is;
He sang of Love and War and Wine,
His name was Henry Praise-the-Ladies.

This Henry had a yearning heart,
And chivalric emotions warmed him,
But holy vows kept him apart
From all that fired, and all that charmed him.
