<poem>
O Tod, wie bitter bist du,  
O Tod, wie bitter bist du,  
wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch der gute Tage und genug hat und ohne Sorge lebet,  
wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch der gute Tage und genug hat und ohne Sorge lebet,

O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem Dürftigen, der da swach und alt ist,  
O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem Dürftigen, der da swach und alt ist,  
der in allen Sorge steckt, und nichts Bessers zu hoffen noch zu erwarten hat!
der in allen Sorge steckt, und nichts Bessers zu hoffen noch zu erwarten hat!

<poem>
O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a person at peace with his possessions, to a man undistracted and prospering in everything and still having strength to welcome a luxury.


O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a person at peace with his possessions, to a man undistracted and prospering in everything and stll having strength to welcome a luxury.
O death, your judgement is good to a person who is needy and lacking strength, who is in extreme old age and is anxious about everything and who is disobedient and has lost hope.
O death, your judgment is good to a person who is needy and lacking strength, who is in extreme old age and is anxious about everything and who is disobedient and has lost hope.

O Tod, wie bitter bist du,
wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch der gute Tage und genug hat und ohne Sorge lebet,
und dem es wohl geht in allen Dingen und noch wohl essen mag!

O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem Dürftigen, der da swach und alt ist,
der in allen Sorge steckt, und nichts Bessers zu hoffen noch zu erwarten hat!

O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a person at peace with his possessions, to a man undistracted and prospering in everything and still having strength to welcome a luxury.

O death, your judgement is good to a person who is needy and lacking strength, who is in extreme old age and is anxious about everything and who is disobedient and has lost hope.
