by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Flog ein bunter Falter
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?
