by Heinrich Seidel (1842 - 1906)

Schmetterlingslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es blühen die Blumen in buntem Schein;
Sie laden zum Flattern und Kosen uns ein!
So lieblich ihr Duft!
[So]1 linde die Luft!
Vergessen ist gestern,
Und morgen ist weit!
Lasst heut uns geniessen
Die goldene Zeit!

Es duften die Blumen und [blühen]2 so bunt,
Und [jede]3 Blüth' ist ein rosiger Mund!
Wir flattern im Wind
Und küssen geschwind!
Vergessen ist gestern,
Und morgen ist weit!
Lasst heut uns geniessen
Die goldene Zeit!
