Wenn ich an ihren Brüsten hingesunken,
den heiligsten der Tränke tief getrunken:
Komm, Drache Tod, lass mit dem letzten Hauch
uns in die Luft vergeh’n wie blauer Rauch.
Und lass uns noch nach hunderttausend Jahren
vereint als Sturmwind durch die Lüfte fahren.

When I, lowered to her breasts,
have drunk deeply of the holiest of drinks:
Come, Dragon Death! With our last breath
let us blow away in the air like blue smoke.
And let us still after a hundred thousand years
fly together through the air as a storm wind.
