Nun du lebest, unsre Krone.--(Goed. 28.)
This poem was appended to an address delivered in Berlin on the 23d of March, 1648, at the funeral of Peter Fritzen, the President of the Consistory.
English Version:
| 1. | On thy bier how calm thou'rt sleeping Yet thou livest, oh our crown! Watch eternal art thou keeping, 40 Standing near thy Savior's throne. Endless joy thy portion now! Why should tears so freely flow? What should thus in sorrow sink us? Up! aright let us bethink us! |
A complete translation by J. Kelly, 1867, p. 338.
