Flammende Rose, Zierde der Erden
German source: Barthold Heinrich Brockes

Flammende Rose, Zierde der Erden,
Glänzender Gärten bezaubernde Pracht!
Augen, die deine Vortrefflichkeit sehen,
Müssen, vor Anmut erstaunend, gestehen,
Dass dich ein göttlicher Finger gemacht.

Flaming rose, earth’s adornment
English translation © Richard Stokes

Flaming rose, earth’s adornment,
Bewitching splendour of gleaming gardens!
Eyes which behold your excellence
Must, amazed at such loveliness, confess
That a divine finger created you.
