by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Sonnwendfeier
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kommt, schließet den Ring,
Ihr Mädchen und Knaben!
Ich spring', ich spring'
Durch's Feuer im Graben.

Ich wollt' für dich
Durch jedes rennen,
Nur laß du mich
Nicht immer so brennen.

Damit ich im Lauf
Nicht stürze, so fange
Du Schöne mich auf,
Nach der ich verlange.

Dein holdes Geficht
Strahlt lautere Wonne,
O scheide noch nicht
Du liebe Sonne!
