Die schwarze Laute
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Aus dem Rosenstocke 
Vom Grabe des Christ
[Eine]1 schwarze Laute 
Gebauet ist;
Der [wurden]2 grüne Reben 
Zu Saiten 
Gegeben.
O wehe du, wie selig sang,
So erossüß, so jesusbang,
Die schwarze Rosenlaute.

Ich hörte sie singen 
In [maienlichter]3 Nacht,
Da bin ich zur Liebe
In Schmerzen erwacht,
Da wurde meinem Leben 
Die Sehnsucht 
Gegeben.
O wehe du, wie selig sang,
So jesussüß, so erosbang,
Die schwarze Rosenlaute!
