by Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836)

Zum Punsche
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Woget brausend, Harmonieen,
Kehre wieder, alte Zeit;
Punschgefüllte Becher, wandert
In des Kreises Heiterkeit!

Mich ergreifen schon die Wellen,
Bin der Erde weit entrückt;
Sterne winken, Lüfte säuseln, -
Und die Seele ist beglückt!

Was das Leben aufgebürdet,
Liegt am Ufer nebelschwer;
Steu're fort, ein rascher Schwimmer,
In das hohe Friedensmeer.

Was des [Schwimmens Lust vermehrt]1,
Ist das Plätschern hinterdrein;
Denn es folgen die Genossen,
Keiner will der Letzte sein.
