Abendkelch voll Sonnenlicht Noch einmal geneiget, Eh' des Tages Herze bricht Und der Nacht verhüllt' Gesicht Seinen Tod beschweiget! Alles Herzwehs Abendwein, Laß dich trinken, trinken! Glüh dein Gold in mich hinein! Und dann mag auch über mein Haupt ihr Antlitz sinken.

Calice du soir empli de la lumière du soleil Encore une fois bu jusqu'à la lie, Avant que le cœur du jour ne se brise Et que la figure voilée de la nuit Fasse silence sur sa mort ! Vin du soir de toutes les peines du cœur, Laisse-toi boire, boire ! Que ton or rougeoyant pénètre en moi ! Et puisse ensuite son visage aussi S'abaisser sur ma tête.
