Auf ein Kind
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT FRE
Aus der Bedrängnis, die mich wild umkettet,
Hab ich zu dir mich, süßes Kind! gerettet,
Damit ich Herz und Augen weide
An deiner Engelfreude,
An dieser Unschuld, dieser Morgenhelle,
An dieser ungetrübten Gottesquelle.

À un enfant
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Au milieu des détresses qui m'enchaînaient
Grâce à toi, doux enfant, j'ai été sauvé,
Je me repais les yeux et le cœur
De ta joie angélique
De cette innocence, de cette clarté matinale,
De cette source divine et limpide.
