by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)

Trinklied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Die Rechte hebt den Maienwein
[Narzisse]1 in der Linken!
Ich will ein frommer Zecher sein
Und gottesfürchtig trinken.

Wie schön [leucht't]2 mir der Morgenstern
Der lieblichen Narzisse!
Ich flehe opferfroh zum Herrn
Und Liebchens Erstlingsküsse.

Für solcher Trank ich solchen Lohn
Zu fordern mich erdreiste --
Lob sei dem Vater und dem Sohn
Sowie dem [heil'gen]3 Geiste!
