Der Pokal (Arnim, set by R. Strauss) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Freunde, weihet den Pokal jener fremden Menschenwelt,
Die an gleichem Sonnenstrahl sich erhellt,
Gesellt,
Gefällt;

Glück den lieben Unbekannten,
Lichtgesandten,
Herzverwandten,
Deren Augen übergehn,
Wenn sie in die Sonne sehn.
