by Moritz Hartmann (1821 - 1872)

Erster Schnee liegt auf den Bäumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Erster Schnee liegt auf den Bäumen, 
Die noch jünst so grün belaubt  --  
Erstes Weh liegt auf den Träumen, 
Die noch jüngst an Glück geglaubt. 

Erster Schnee ist bald verschwunden, 
Wenn darauf die Sonne weilt  --  
Erstes Weh schlägt tief're Wunden 
Die kein Freudenstrahl mehr heilt.
