German Text

Blute nur, du liebes Herz!
Ach, ein Kind, das du erzogen,
das an deiner Brust gesogen,
droht den Pfleger zu ermorden,
denn es ist zur Schlange worden.

English Translation

Bleed out, you loving heart!
Alas! A child that you raised,
that nursed at your breast,
threatens to murder its caretaker,
since it has become a serpent.
