Walther Von Der Vogelweide World Poems
- 1. Alas! Where Have All The Years Gone
Alas! Where have all the years gone?

... - 2. I've Got My Fief
I've got my fief, you world! A fief at last!
I shall not fear the February blast,
and petty barons can be flattered less.

Now would I leave thee; - it is time -
Good night! to thee, oh world, good night!
I haste me to my home.
