by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Der neidische Mond
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
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.
