Schmetterlingslied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Abt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es blühen die Blumen in buntem Schein;
Sie laden zum Flattern und Kosen uns ein!
So lieblich ihr Duft!
Und so linde die Luft!
Vergessen ist gestern,
Und morgen ist weit!
Lasst heut uns geniessen
Die goldene Zeit!

Es duften die Blumen und blüh'n so bunt,
Und jegliche 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!
