Steig, o Mutter aller Schmerzen, Auf den Altar meiner Verse! Blut aus deinen magren Brusten Hat des Schwertes Wut vergossen. Deine ewig frischen Wunden Gleichen Augen, rot und offen. Steig, o Mutter aller Schmerzen, Auf den Altar meiner Verse! In den abgezehrten Händen Hältst du deines Sohnes Leiche. Ihn zu zeigen aller Menschheit - Doch der Blick der Menschen meidet Dich, o Mutter aller Schmerzen!

登上吧，哦 背負眾悲傷的聖母， （登上）我詩句的聖壇！ 血從妳瘦弱的胸臆間 湧流在刀劍的憤怒下。 妳那永遠新鮮的創傷 彷彿雙眼，血紅而瞪大著。 登上吧，哦 背負眾悲傷的聖母， （登上）我詩句的聖壇！ 在妳枯瘦的雙手中 妳抱著妳兒子的屍體， 向世人顯明他的身份－ 但世人的目光都迴避著 妳，哦 背負眾悲傷的聖母！
