Zum Punsche See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Woget brausend, Harmonieen, Kehre wieder, alte Zeit; Punschgefüllte Becher, wandert In des Kreises Heiterkeit! Mich ergreifen schon die Wellen, Bin der Erde weit entrückt; Sterne winken, Lüfte säuseln, - Und die Seele ist beglückt! Was das Leben aufgebürdet, Liegt am Ufer nebelschwer; Steu're fort, ein rascher Schwimmer, In das hohe Friedensmeer. Was des Schwimmers Lust vermehret, Ist das Plätschern hinterdrein; Denn es folgen die Genossen, Keiner will der Letzte sein.
