by Elisabeth Pauline Ottilie Luise zu Wied, Prinzessin (1843 - 1916), as Carmen Sylva

Der Bläser
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit meinem Hauch in rothe Gluth,
Mit Aug' und Hand in Flammenwuth, --
Blas! Blas! 
Und was Ihr füllt und singend leert,
Hat mir das Lebensmark verzehrt;
Glas! Glas! 

Ich setz' es vor euch an den Mund 
Und schwing' es hoch, im Kreise rund,
Blas! Blas! 
Und was mein letzter Hauch gemacht,
Ihr schlagt's entzwei, und singt und lacht, --
Glas! Glas! 

Und bei der weißen Flammen Schein, 
Denk' ich der kleinen Kinder mein, --
Blas! Blas! 
Die Gluth wird kalt, bald lieg' ich dort,
Man fegt mich mit den Scherben fort: 
Glas! Glas!
