Lied zum teutschen Tanz
 (Sung text for setting by W. Rihm)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Angst! o tausendfach Leben!
O Muth, den Busen geschwellt,
Zu taumeln, zu wirbeln, zu schweben,
Als giengs so fort aus der Welt! 

Kürzer die Brust
Athmet die Lust.
Alles verschwunden,
Was uns gebunden.
Frey wie der Wind,
Götter wir sind!
