by Anna Möser, née E. Anna Schönberger (1848 - 1899), as Elly Gregor

Das erste Mal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das erste Mal  -- 
Wie bebt' ich drum!  --
Ein Wiedersehn! 
Doch welche Qual,
Sich fremd und stumm
Vorübergehn.  

Ob du voll Ruh 
Mir zugewandt
Dein Angesicht,
Ob arglos du
Mich nicht erkannt,
Ich weiß es nicht. 

Dein Aug' verhüllt
Vor Weh so bald
Die Thräne schwer,
Als ob's vom Bild
Der Huldgestalt
Geblendet wär'. 

Was sprachst du doch? 
Ein Wanken dann,
Ein leiser Schrei  -- 
Und eh ich noch
Mich recht besann,
Vorbei, vorbei!
