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 linde die Luft!
Vergessen ist gestern,
Und morgen ist weit!
Lasst heut uns geniessen
Die goldene Zeit!

Es duften die Blumen und blühen so bunt,
Und jede 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!
