Nun bin ich dein, Du aller Blumen Blume, Und sing' allein Allstund zu deinem Ruhme; Will eifrig sein, Mich dir zu weih'n Und deinem Duldertume. Frau, auserlesen, Zu dir steht all mein Hoffen, Mein [innerst]1 Wesen Ist allezeit dir offen. Komm, mich zu lösen Vom Fluch des Bösen, Der mich so hart betroffen! Du Stern der See, Du Port der Wonnen, Von der im Weh Die Wunden Heil gewonnen, Eh' ich vergeh', Blick' aus der Höh, Du Königin der Sonnen! Nie kann versiegen Die Fülle deiner Gnaden; Du hilfst zum Siegen Dem, der mit Schmach beladen. An dich sich schmiegen, Zu deinen Füßen liegen Heilt allen [Harm]2 und Schaden. Ich leide schwer Und wohlverdiente Strafen. Mir bangt so sehr, Bald Todesschlaf zu schlafen. Tritt du einher, Und durch das Meer O führe mich zum Hafen!

Ara sóc tot teu, tu, flor entre totes les flors, i canto solament a tothora per a la teva glòria; vull fervorosament consagrar-me a tu i al teu sofriment. Senyora escollida, en tu reposen totes les meves esperances, el meu ésser més íntim està sempre obert per a tu. Vine i allibera’m de la maledicció del maligne que tan durament m’ha punyit! Tu, estel del mar, tu, port dels delits, per qui en el dolor es guareixen les ferides, abans de què em mori, esguarda’m des d’allà dalt, tu, reina del sol! Mai es por exhaurir l’esplet de la teva mercè; tu ajudes a triomfar a qui està carregat d’infàmia. Emparar-se en tu, prostrar-se als teus peus, guareix totes les penes i tots els mals. Jo pateixo severes i ben merescudes punicions. M’angoixa tant de dormir aviat el son de la mort. Vine cap a mi, i a través del mar, condueix-me a port!
