Geselle, woll'n wir uns in Kutten hüllen, Die Welt dem lassen, den sie mag ergötzen? Dann pochen wir an Thür um Thür im Stillen: "Gebt einem armen Mönch um Jesu willen." -- O lieber Pater, du mußt später kommen, Wenn aus dem Ofen wir das Brod genommen. O lieber Pater, komm nur später wieder, Ein Töchterlein von mir liegt krank danieder. -- Und ist sie krank, so lass't mich zu ihr gehen, Daß sie nicht etwa sterbe unversehen. Und ist sie krank, so laß mich nach ihr schauen, Daß sie mir ihre Beichte mag vertrauen. Schließt Thür und Fenster, daß uns Keiner störe, Wenn ich des armen Kindes Beichte höre!

Companys, ens posem les cogulles i deixem el món per als que s’hi diverteixen? Aleshores, en silenci, trucarem de porta en porta: “Doneu caritat al pobre monjo, per l’amor de Jesús.” -- Oh, estimat Pare, torneu a venir més tard, quan hàgim tret el pa del forn. -- Oh, estimat Pare, torneu a venir més tard, una filla meva està malalta al llit. -- I si ella està malalta, deixeu-me-la veure perquè no mori sense els sagraments. I si ella està malalta, deixeu-me-la veure perquè em confessi els seus pecats. Tanqueu portes i finestres, perquè ningú ens destorbi, quan escolti la confessió de la pobre criatura!
