Am Kreuzweg wird begraben Wer selber sich brachte um; [Dort]1 wächst eine blaue Blume, Die [Armesünderblum']2. Am Kreuzweg [stand]3 ich und seufzte; Die Nacht war kalt und stumm. Im Mondschein bewegte sich langsam Die [Armesünderblum']2.

Зарыт на дальнем перекрёстке Самоубийцы труп в песок, Над ним растёт цветочек синий, [Несчастных грешников]1 цветок. Там я стоял, вздыхая… Вечер Всё сном и холодом облёк, И при луне качался тихо [Несчастных грешников]1 цветок.
