by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Füllt mir das Trinkhorn!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Füllt mir das Trinkhorn! 
  Reicht es herum!
Trinken macht weise, 
  Fasten macht dumm! 

Was ist das Athmen? 
  Ein Trinken von Luft --
Was ist das Riechen? 
  Ein Trinken von Duft!

Was ist ein Kuß, als 
  Ein doppelter Trank!
Trinken macht selig,
  Fasten macht krank! 

Was ist das [Sehen]1?
  Ein Trinken des Scheins --
Klingt's auch verschieden,
  Bleibt es doch Eins!

Füllt mir das Trinkhorn! 
  Reicht es herum!
Trinken macht weise, 
  Fasten macht dumm!
