from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

In der Marienkirche begruben sie ihn
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English 
In der Marienkirche begruben sie ihn, 
Und sie im Marienchor;
Aus ihrem Grab ein rot Röselein sproßt, 
Aus seinem ein Weißdorn hervor.
Die neigten sich, die verzweigten sich, 
Wären gern einander recht nah,
Daß jeder gleich erkennen konnt: 
Zwei Liebende ruhten allda.
