Herr, was trägt der Boden hier, Den du tränkst so bitterlich? »Dornen, liebes Herz, für mich, Und für dich der Blumen Zier.« Ach, wo solche Bäche rinnen, Wird ein Garten da gedeihn? »Ja, und wisse! Kränzelein, Gar verschiedne, flicht man drinnen.« O mein Herr, zu wessen Zier Windet man die Kränze? sprich! »Die von Dornen sind für mich, Die von Blumen reich ich dir.«

Senyor, què produeix aquí el terreny que tu regues tan amargament? “Espines, cor estimat, per a mi, i per a tu, corones de flors.” Ai, on corren aitals rierols, pot florir un jardí? “Sí, i perquè ho sàpigues, corones ben diferents es trenen aquí.” Oh, Senyor meu, per ornar a qui es trenen les corones? Digues-me! “Les d’espines són per a mi, les de flors, jo te les ofereixo.”
