Mit Sonnenglut und Mondesschimmer, Mit Strömen, aufgeregt vom kühlen Bad; Am Abend schön und mit gedämpftem Sehnen Ist, Freundin, die Sommerzeit genaht. Ein wasserkühles, flimmerndes Gewölbe, Die Nächte glänzend mit des Mondes Schein, Juwelen sind bereit und feuchter Sandel, Dem Menschen ihren Liebesdienst zu weihn. Im herrlich duftendem Gemache laben Sich nun die Liebenden um Mitternacht Am Weine, kräuselnd von der Gattin Odem, Wenn Sang und Spiel die Sehnsucht angefacht.
