Das Gärtlein dicht verschlossen
Hältst wohl du, frommes Kind,
Da diese Heckensprossen
So eng verwachsen sind?
Doch blüht die Unschuld immer
Darin, soviel ich seh';
Sonst war es Lilienschimmer,
Nun ist es weisser Schnee!
Als hätt' der gnadenreichen
Maria reinste Hand
Im Sonnenschein zum Bleichen
Ihr Hemdlein ausgespannt.
