Die schwarze Laute
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Aus dem Rosenstocke 
Vom Grabe des Christ
Eine schwarze Laute 
Gebauet ist;
Der wurden grüne Reben 
Zu Saiten 
Gegeben.
O wehe du, wie selig sang,
So erossüß, so jesusbang,
Die schwarze Rosenlaute.

Ich hörte sie singen 
In maienlichter 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!
