Lasst Lautenspiel und Becherklang nicht rasten,
So lang es Zeit ist zu der Jugend Festen
Ist Fasching aus, so folgen dann die Fasten.
Der Freundin Bild ist in mein Herz geflossen;
Die Hand des Schöpfers ewig sei gepriesen,
Die mir zum Seh'n das Aug' hat aufgeschlossen.
Mir träumt', ich starb, und deine Thränen flossen,
Da richtet' ich mich auf und lebte wieder,
Der welken Blume gleich, die Tau begossen.
R. Schumann sets stanza 1

The lutes shall play and chalices be ringing
as long as we are young and young we revel -
the times to come give little rise to singing.
