Auf ein Kind
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT FRE
Aus der Bedrängnis, die mich wild umkettet,
Hab ich zu dir mich, süßes Kind! gerettet,
Damit ich Herz und Augen weide
An deiner Engelfreude,
An dieser Unschuld, dieser Morgenhelle,
An dieser ungetrübten Gottesquelle.

A un infant
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Del destret que ferotge m’encadenava,
gràcies a tu, dolç infant, m’he pogut alliberar,
per tal de poder delectar el meu cor i els meus ulls
en la teva joia angèlica,
en aquesta innocència, aquesta claror matinal,
en aquesta límpida font divina.
