A DREAM OF LOVE, SELECTION, by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE Poet's Biography First Line: Look, this is why I feel so gay Last Line: If I should find her 'neath this wreath by chance! | |||
Look, this is why I feel so gay: I have grown warm with cheer, Clasped by a dream so dear. Alas, I had to wake, for it was day. Hear what she has done unto me: All the summer I must peer Into ladies' eyes to see If I can find my dear: then sorrow's end were near. Maybe she is going to this dance. Ladies, I beg you, be so kind, Push back your hats, if you don't mind! If I should find her 'neath this wreath by chance! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AWAKE! by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE LONGING FOR SPRING by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE TANDARADEI by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE THE ORACLE by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE SPECIAL EFFECTS by JAMES GALVIN ELEGY: 11.
