by Christoph Mickwitz (1850 - 1924)

Jener erste Kuß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
    Jener erste Kuß --
    Weißt Du noch?
    Am Hollunderbusch, 
    Weißt Du noch?
Hinterm Berge sank hinab die Sonne,
Doch wir wachten noch in sel'ger Wonne.
    Jenes Jugendglück, 
    Weißt Du noch?
    Kehrt nicht mehr zurück.

    O wie liegt so weit --
    Weißt du noch?
    Jene schöne Zeit, 
    Weißt du noch?
Müde schließen sich die Augenlider.
Was uns einst beglückt, es kehrt nicht wieder.
    Am Hollunderbusch, 
    Weißt du noch?
    Jener erste Kuß.
