by Johann Georg Fellinger (1781 - 1816)

Die erste Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Die erste Liebe füllt das Herz mit Sehnen
Nach einem unbekannten Geisterlande,
Die Seele gaukelt an dem Lebensrande,
Und süße Wehmuth letzet sich in Thränen.

Da wacht es auf, das Vorgefühl des Schönen,
Du schaust die Gattinn in dem Lichtgewande,
Geschlungen sind des Glaubens leise Bande,
Und Tage rieseln hin auf Liebestönen;

Du siehst nur sie allein im Wiederscheine,
Die Holde, der du ganz dich hingegeben,
Nur sie durchwebt deines Daseyns Räume!

Sie lächelt dir herab vom Goldgesäume,
Wenn stille Lichter an den Himmeln schweben,
Der Erde jubelst du: "Sie ist die Meine!"
