Du meines Herzens Krönelein, du bist von lautrem Golde: Wenn andere daneben sein, dann bist du [erst]1 viel holde. Die andern tun so gern gescheit, du bist gar sanft und stille; Daß jedes Herz sich dein erfreut, dein Glück ist's, nicht dein Wille. Die andern suchen Lieb' und Gunst mit tausend falschen Worten, Du ohne Mund- und Augen-Kunst, bist wert an allen Orten. Du bist als wie die Ros' im Wald: sie weiß nichts von ihrer Blüte, Doch jedem, der vorüberwallt, erfreut sie das Gemüte.

Coroncina del mio cuore, tu sei d'oro puro, in mezzo a tutte le altre tu mi sei più cara di tutte. Le altre vogliono essere furbe, tu sei dolce e tranquilla, che ogni cuore si rallegri di te è tuo destino, non tua volontà. Le altre cercano amore e favori con mille false parole, tu senza artificio di parole e sguardi sei degna in ogni luogo. Tu sei come la rosa nel bosco, che non sa nulla della sua fioritura, ma a chiunque passi, rallegra l'anima.
