Du mein einzig Licht,
Die Lilj und Ros hat nicht,
Was an Farb und Schein
Dir möcht ähnlich sein,
Nur daß dein stolzer Mut
Der Schönheit unrecht thut.
...
Meine Heimat du,
Von welcher Lust und Ruh
Ist der Himmel gar
Wie die Erde bar.
Nur daß dein strenges Wort
Mich weht vom süßen Port.

Jij, mijn enig licht!
De roos, de lelie mist
Wat aan kleur en schijn
Jou gelijk kon zijn;
Slechts dat jouw trots gemoed
Je schoonheid onrecht doet.
...
Mijn echt thuis ben jij!
Zo vol van rust en blij
Is de hemel nooit
Noch de aarde ooit.
Slechts dat jouw strenge woord
Mij weert van 't zoete oord.
