It has both the English and the German lyrics written by Ed Sachs.

I could not find the date of Ed Sachs ( there are Ed Sachs on Googling still alive which could not be him ) but since the book was published in 1910, I think it is in PD. Or it cannot be submitted until we can find out the date of Ed Sachs?
