O selige Wonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O selige Wonne 
In seligem Traum, 
O leuchtende Sonne 
Im endlosen Raum, 

O inniges Neigen, 
O sehnender Schmerz, 
O redendes Schweigen, 
O klopfendes Herz,  

O selig versunken 
In trunkenem Blick, 
Im Rausche zu trinken 
Unendliches Glück, 

Verzagendes Wagen, 
Verzehrende Lust, 
O Seufzer und Klagen 
Aus freudiger Brust, 

O süßeste Trauer, 
O seligste Last, 
O Schmerz ohne Dauer, 
O Freud' ohne Rast!  

O Liebe, von Blumen 
Und Dornen ein Kranz! 
Mit Dornen und Blumen 
Erdrückst du mich ganz.
