"Oh", rief ein Glas Burgunder, "Oh, Mond, du göttliches Wunder! Du giesst aus silberner Schale Das liebestaumelnde, fahle, Trunkene Licht wie sengende Glut Hin über das nachtigallige Land -- --" Da rief der Mond, indem er verschwand: "Ich weiss! Ich weiss! Schon gut! Schon gut!"

"Oh", cried a glass of Burgundy, "Oh moon, you wonder divine! Your silver chalice, full and free, Spills pale, sweetly dizzying wine, Intoxicating, its bright warming glow Lights bright the nightingales' land below - -" To the fast emptied glass, the Moon did glow: "That's right! That's right! I know! I know!"
