Flog ein bunter Falter
 (Sung text for setting by R. Stöhr)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Flog ein bunter Falter
Tändelnd hin und her,
Duftende Grüße sandte
Rings das Blumenmeer.

Eine blaue Blume
stand im Feld allein;
Keine der andern dachte
An dies Schwesterlein.

Warum bunter Falter –
Warum – sage mir –
Fliegest du immer wieder,
Wieder hin zu ihr?
