by Matthias Claudius (1740 - 1815)

Auf's Wohl der Frauen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 Füllt noch einmal die Gläser voll
 Und stoßet herzlich an,
 dass hoch das Fräulein leben soll,
 denn sie gehört zum Mann!

 Auch sind die Frauen sanft und gut
 und freundlich ist ihr Blick;
 Sie machen fröhlich Herz und Mut,
 und sind des Lebens Glück!

 Drum halt't sie ehrlich, lieb und wert,
 und füllt die Gläser voll,
 stoßt an, dass es jede hört,
 und trinkt auf aller Wohl!
