contents This paper investigates the novel phenomenon of gravitational lensing experienced by gravitational waves traveling past a Schwarzschild black hole perturbed by a specific, first-order, polar gravitational wave. We utilize the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, uncovering a topological contribution to the deflection of light rays passing near the black hole. We demonstrate that the deflection angle can be determined by analyzing a region entirely outside the light ray's path, leading to a calculation based solely on the parameters of the perturbing wave (Legendre polynomial order, $l$, and frequency, $σ$). This approach offers a unique perspective on gravitational lensing and expands our understanding of black hole interactions with gravitational waves.
