from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

In der Marienkirche begruben sie ihn
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English 
In der Marienkirche begruben sie ihn, 
  und sie im Marienchor;
aus ihrem Grab ein Rotröselein sproßt, 
  aus seinem ein Weißdorn hervor.

Die neigten sich, die verzweigten sich, 
  wären gern einander recht nah,
daß jeder gleich erkennen konnt: 
  Zwei Liebende ruhten allda.
