Aus Wolken fällt die frohe Stunde,
O Mensch, gesunde!
Lass Leiden fliehn und Bangigkeit,
Wenn Liebchens Kuss dein Herz erfreut.
In Küssen weht ein Zaubersegen,
Drum sey verwegen,
Was fürchten, wenn der Donner rollt,
Wenn nur der rothe Mund nicht schmollt.

Set to music by Paul Hindemith (1895 - 1963), "Nur Mut", op. 35, Heft 1 no. 3 (1924) [ soprano, oboe, and viola ], from Die Serenaden, no. 3

From the heavens falls the joyous time,
O man, be well!
Let suffering flee, and timidity,
When the kiss of your sweetheart delights your heart.
Kissing wafts a magical blessing,
So be bold!
What is so frightening when thunder rolls,
So long as those red lips do not pout?
