sometimes misattributed to Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724 - 1803) and by Johann Heinrich Voss (1751 - 1826)

Eil', o Mai, mit deinem Brautgesange!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eil', o Mai, mit deinem Brautgesange!
Eil', und röthe meines Mädchens Wange,
  Und die Rose für den Hochzeitskranz!
Alles taumelt; mir versiegt der Odem;
Unter meinem Fuße brennt der Boden!
  Eil'! ich überfliege deinen Glanz!

Unsre Seelen schuf in Edens Thale
Gott aus Einem morgenrothen Strahle,
  Ähnlich sich, wie Wechselmelodie'n;
Wie zwei Küsse, nach einander strebend,
Die auf heißen Lippen, wonnebebend,
  Zucken, und zu Einem Küsse glühn!
