He rides around the Kynast, right round the narrow wall;
The Lady Kunigunde!
She cannot stir for terror her lily hand at all.
He rides around the Kynast, dear round the battlement;
The Lady Kunigunde!
As if a breath might kill him, she held her breath suspent.
He rode around the Kynast and straight to her rode he;
Said the Lady Kunigunde of Kynast:
“Thanks be to God in Heaven, who gave thy life to thee!
“Thanks be to God that into thy grave thou didst not ride!”
