It’s the First Time That I Came to Meet Love...

It’s the first time that I came to meet love halfway,

As if heavenly stars had gone down to my feet.

On a sudden a mischievous spring comes again,

Like a fabulous tale it replaces the sleet.

In the crystal blue eyes of this spring I will stare.

There are lakes on which feathery clouds sail away.

All my dreams went astray in its beautiful hair,

And its breath has an infinite softness of staves.

It’s the first time that I came to meet love halfway,

And this date can take ages or last for a stroke.

In the distance my quivering soul looks in wait

For the love that is brighter than glittering snow.
