Divided Labour
Translated by Frank C. Nicholson (1907) · From Old German Love Songs (1907)
Relationships
That lady who with upright heart
Her love on this Crusade sends forth,
Gains of his meed an equal part,
If she at home preserve her worth
And keep her fame and honour fair.
Here let her pray for both, while he
For both of them sails over there!
