German text by Barthold Heinrich Brockes (1680 - 1747):
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.
English translation:
Flaming rose, ornament of the earth,
the gleaming garden's enchanting glory!
Any eyes that see your excellence,
must admit, with astonished charm,
that you were made by a divine finger.
