And father of the sunniest maiden here

In Ammendorf, the blameless Ilsabe;

Who, motherless, the white-haired father prized

A jewel priceless. As huge barons' ghosts

Guard big, accumulated hoards of wealth,

Fast-sealed in caverned cellars, robber wells,

Beneath the dungeoned Dummburg, so he watched

Her, all his world in her who was his wealth.

A second Lora of Thuringia she.

Faultless for love, instilled all souls with love,
