by Albert Träger (1830 - 1912)

Als ich dich zuerst gesehen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Als ich Dich zuerst gesehen, 
Wähnt' ich, wieder jung zu sein, 
Frühlingslüfte fühlt' ich wehen 
Und im Herzen Sonnenschein; 

Jener Freude hört' ich's schlagen, 
Die so tief ich sonst empfand, 
Wenn nach langen Wintertagen 
Ich das erste Veilchen fand.
