	Story Behind the Song The "Gesangbuch" of Andernach (1608) refers to this song as one universally known and liked at that time. The use of the words "Kyrie eleison" show that it had its origin in the first period of the creaton of German religious folk songs during the Middle Ages. Lyrics 1. Maria durch ein'n Dornwald ging, Kyrie eleison! Maria durch ein'n Dornwald ging, Der hat in sieb'n Jahr kein Laub getragen. Jesus und Maria. ---- 2. Was trug Maria unter ihrem Herzen? Kyrie eleison! Ein kleines Kindlein ohne Schmerzen, Das trug Maria unterm Herzen! Jesus und Maria. ---- 3. Da hab'n die Dornen Rosen getragen, Kyrie eleison! Als das Kindlein durch den Wald getragen, Da haben die Dornen Rosen getragen! Jesus und Maria.
