Nun küsse mich, ich halte still, Du lieber, lieber Mann, Und zieht der Mond ein schief Gesicht -- Was geht's den Mond wohl an! Ich glaube gar, den alten Herrn Plagt nur der blasse Neid: Der ginge lieber auch zu Zwei'n Durch seine Ewigkeit.
Confirmed with Gedichte von Anna Ritter, Leipzig: Verlag von A.G. Liebeskind, 1898, page 18.

Embrasse-moi maintenant, je reste immobile, Toi cher, cher homme, Et si la lune fait grise mine Que nous importe la lune ! Je crois même qu'une pâle jalousie Ne hante que les vieux messieurs : Celui-ci préférerait aussi être en couple Tout au long de son éternité.
