Als Jesus noch ein Kind war,
hatte er einen Garten, gar klein und wild,
dort hegte er Rosen, hold und schön,

kam eine Schar Kinder vorbei,
sie sahen Rosen oben am Baum,
und mit glücklichem Geschrei pflückten sie diese.
„Bindest du dir Rosen ins Haar?“
fragten sie Jesus voller Hohn.
Der Junge sprach in bescheidnem Ton:
„Nehmt alles ausser der blanken Dornen fort,
das nur bitte ich euch.“
Aus den Dornen dann machten sie eine Krone,
und mit groben Händen pressten sie diese auf seinen Kopf,
bis auf seiner Stirn – schön und zart –
rote Tropfen Bluts wie Rosen erblühten.}}

When Jesus Christ was yet a child
He had a garden small and wild,
Wherein He cherished roses fair,
And wove them into garlands there.

Now once, as summer time drew nigh,
There came a troop of children by,
And seeing roses on the tree,
With shouts they plucked them merrily.

"Do you bind roses in your hair?"
They cried, in scorn, to Jesus there.
The Boy said humbly: "Take, I pray,
All but the naked thorns away."

Then of the thorns they made a crown,
And with rough fingers pressed it down,
Till on His forehead fair and young,
Red drops of blood like roses sprung.
