Friedrich Schiller - Punch Song
Work rating: Medium

Four elements, joined in
   Harmonious strife,
 Shadow the world forth,
   And typify life.

 Into the goblet
   The lemon`s juice pour;
 Acid is ever
   Life`s innermost core.

 Now, with the sugar`s
   All-softening juice,
 The strength of the acid
   So burning reduce.

 The bright sparkling water
   Now pour in the bowl;
 Water all-gently
   Encircles the whole.

 Let drops of the spirit
   To join them now flow;
 Life to the living
   Naught else can bestow.

 Drain it off quickly
   Before it exhales;
 Save when `tis glowing,
   The draught naught avails.
