ONLY AT FIRST

$

Only at first was it love—when the cold landscape was green,

when newly I saw you, before you were really seen.

Only at first was it love—before I finally knew

old tricks of desire set up traps in you.

Only at first was it love—for desire runs so fast,

desire speedily goes; love’s true love, the past.

We have loved already; this is too bad.

Glad is innocent once. Forever belongs to sad.

You say things are new

and rains fall from a sky

we’ve never seen before. Yes, at first that lie

will be on my lips, too.

Only at first was it love—then it was merely you.
