Trunk
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Laß uns beim Weine singen,
Weil auch die Gläser klingen.
Von Bechers Rand
Schaun wir in seliges Land.
Laß uns beim Weine schweigen,
Wenn stille Düfte steigen.
Von Bechers Grund
Sucht Mund den Mund.
Confirmed with Hans Heinrich Ehrler, Gedichte, Stuttgart: Verlag Strecker und Schröder, 1919, page 49.

Drink
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Let us sing while drinking wine
Because the glasses are ringing as well.
From the rim of the goblet
We gaze into a blessed land.
Let us be silent while drinking wine
When the silent scents rise.
From the bottom of the goblet
Lips seek lips.
