Du tatest mir die Tür auf, ernstes Kind. Ich sah mich um in deinem kleinen Himmel, lächelnde Jungfrau; Du [sollst]1 einst einen großen Himmel hüten, Mutter mit dem Kind. Ich tu die Tür mit ernstem Lächeln zu.

Rozwarłaś drzwi przedemną dziecię me. Przyjrzałem się małe mu twemu niebu, kwitnące dziewczę; straź wnet będziesz nad wielkiem dzierźyć niebem, Matko z dzieckiem swem. Przymknąłem znów z uśmiechem twoje drzwi.
