Du bist wie eine Julinacht
 (Sung text for setting by J. Bittner)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du bist wie eine Julinacht,
So süss, so weich, so warm!
Um Deiner Glieder heisse Pracht
Schliesst selig sich mein Arm.
Ich trete trunken in das Land
Der Göttin Venus ein
Und schliesse mich an Deiner Hand
In ihren Liebesreihn.

Ich trinke sinnbetörend Glück
Aus Deiner Lippen Glut!
Du hast an Deinen Schoss gebannt
Mir Seel' und Leib und Blut.
Ich bin dir völlig untertan,
Ein Bettler Dir am Tor,
Von Liebe trunken ein sel'ger Mann
Den Deine Gnad' erkor.
