Liebesreime II
 (Sung text for setting by K. Weigl)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)

Der Becher klingt; mein Herz ist der Becher!
Trink Liebe, trinke dich satt!
Es zittert; o berauschter Zecher,
Der fest in bebenden Händen es hat!
Wer hat wie du ein Meer zum Pokale?
Ein Meer voll wachsender Glut!
Es saugt aus eurem feuchten Strahle,
Ihr trunkenen Augen, die himmlische Flut.
