"Am jüngsten Tag ich aufersteh'
Und gleich nach meinem Liebsten seh',
und wenn ich ihn nicht finden kann,
leg' wieder mich zum Schlafen dann.
"O Herzeleid, du Ewigkeit!
Selbander nur ist Seligkeit!
Und kommt mein Liebster nicht hinein,
mag nicht im Paradiese sein!"

“Op de
jongste dag sta ik weer op
En daad’lijk zoek ik
mijn liefste op,
En als ik hem niet vinden kan,
Leg ‘k mij opnieuw te slapen dan.
“O groot verdriet, o eeuwigheid!
Slechts samenzijn is zaligheid!
En komt dan niet de liefste mijn,
Dan wil ‘k in ’t paradijs niet zijn!”
