about

Third song from the cicle "Walpurgis night"

lyrics

Es schweigt der Wind, es flieht der Stern,
Der trübe Mond verbirgt sich gern.
Im Sausen sprüht das Zauberchor
Viel tausend Feuerfunken hervor. <...>

Es trägt der Besen, trägt der Stock
Die Gabel trägt, es trägt der Bock
Wer heute sich nicht heben kann
Ist ewig ein verlorner Mann. <...>

Die Salbe gibt den Hexen Mut,
Ein Lumpen ist zum Segel gut
Ein gutes Schiff ist jeder Trog
Der flieget nie, der heut nicht flog.

Und wenn wir um den Gipfel ziehn,
So streichet an dem Boden hin
Und deckt die Heide weit und breit
Mit eurem Schwarm der Hexenheit.
