by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Nun hab' ich alle Seligkeit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun hab' ich alle Seligkeit
Erlost von dieser Erden!
An keinem Ort, zu keiner Zeit
Mag Beßres je mir werden.

Was nur das Herz zum Himmel hebt,
Bescherte mir die Stunde,
Der Liebe voller Becher schwebt
An meinem durst'gen Munde,

O könnt' ich leeren den Pokal,
Eh' dort verlöscht die Sonne,
Und dann mit ihrem letzten Strahl
Vergehn vor Liebeswonne!
