Aus dem Rosenstocke Vom Grabe des Christ [Eine]1 schwarze Laute Gebauet ist; Der [wurden]2 grüne Reben Zu Saiten Gegeben. O wehe du, wie selig sang, So erossüß, so jesusbang, Die schwarze Rosenlaute. Ich hörte sie singen In [maienlichter]3 Nacht, Da bin ich zur Liebe In Schmerzen erwacht, Da wurde meinem Leben Die Sehnsucht Gegeben. O wehe du, wie selig sang, So jesussüß, so erosbang, Die schwarze Rosenlaute!

D'un pied de rosier du tombeau du Christ On fabriqua un luth noir, Sur lequel on fixa des cordes de sarment vert. Hélas, comme son chant était ravissant, Si suavement érotique, si craintif de Jésus, Le luth noir du rosier ! Je l'entendis chanter dans la claire nuit de mai Dès lors, je m'éveillai douloureusement à l'amour, Dès lors ma vie fut gagnée de nostalgie. Hélas, comme son chant était ravissant, Si suavement érotique, si craintif de Jésus, Le luth noir du rosier !
