Eia, wie flattert der Kranz

Sie:
 Eia, wie flattert der Kranz,
 Trauter, komm mit mir zum Tanz!
 Wollen uns schwingen,
 Rasch uns erspringen
 Mitten im wonnigen Glanz,
 Trauter, komm mit mir zum Tanz!

Er:
 Wehe! wie pocht mir das Herz,
 Sage, was soll mir der Scherz?
 Laß dich umschließen,
 Laß mich zerfließen,
 Ruhend im seligen Schmerz;
 Sage, was soll mir der Scherz?

Sie:
 Eia, der Walzer erklingt,
 Pärchen an Pärchen sich schwingt,
 Mädchen und Bübchen,
 Schelmchen und Liebchen;
 Frisch, wo's am dichtesten springt,
 Pärchen an Pärchen sich schwingt!

Er:
 Wehe! mir sinket der Arm,
 Mitten im jauchzenden Schwarm,
 Wie sie dich fassen,
 Muß ich erblassen,
 Möchte vergehen im Harm
 Mitten im jauchzenden Schwarm.

Sie:
 Eia, wie flattert der Kranz,
 Heute für alle im Tanz,
 Flatterig heute,
 Morgen gescheute,
 Morgen, o Trauter, dein ganz
 Heute für alle im Tanz!

Note for Lachner's setting, stanza 2: both the published edition and autograph read "Schmerz" (not "Scherz") in line 2, while line 6 remains unchanged; in fact, the autograph shows the 'm' carefully erased, leaving "Scherz". It is unclear whether "Schmerz" in line 2 was intentional (thus breaking the pattern of all the other stanzas) or an uncorrected error.
