Return to the original list
Nichts andres haben wir zu tun, Als daß wir vor dem Heilandkind Auf frommen Knieen betend ruhn. Die wir der Jungfrau Diener sind. Sieh, unser Dienst ist leicht und zart. Wir atmen still im grünen Land Der schönen Mutter Gegenwart. Und selig werden wir genannt. Und selig wirst auch du, o Christ, Der du voll dunkler Sehnsucht bist, Wenn du der Schönsten dich ergibst Und keine andre liebst.

Nous n'avons rien d'autre à faire Que prier dévotement agenouillés Devant l'enfant Sauveur, Nous qui sommes les servants de la Vierge Vois, notre service est facile et doux Nous respirons calmement dans le vert pays En présence de la bonne Mère, Et l'on nous dira béats. Et béat, tu le seras aussi, ô Christ, Toi qui es empli de sombres désirs, Quand tu te révéleras à la plus belle Et n'aimeras aucune autre.
