And when thyself with shining foot shall pass (Fitzgerald, set by L. Lehmann) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


And when thyself with shining foot shall pass
Among the guests star-scatter'd on the grass,
And in thy joyous errand reach the spot
Where I made one - turn down an empty glass!

Note: this becomes #110 in the second edition (with changes); in the third and fourth editions, it is renumbered to 101 with further changes.
