Am Kreuzweg wird begraben Wer selber sich brachte um; [Dort]1 wächst eine blaue Blume, Die [Armesünderblum']2. Am Kreuzweg [stand]3 ich und seufzte; Die Nacht war kalt und stumm. Im Mondschein bewegte sich langsam Die [Armesünderblum']2.

Ten kruisweg wordt begraven Wie't leven zich benam; Daar groeit eene kleine bloeme, De blauwe zondaarsbloem. Ten kruisweg stond ik en zuchtte De nacht was kus en stom, In't maanlicht zoo langzaam en treurig Neeg de arme zondaarsbloem Der arme zondaars bloem!
