by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Der Schmetterling ist in die Rose...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Schmetterling ist in die Rose verliebt, Umflattert sie tausendmal, Ihn selber aber goldig zart Umflattert der liebende Sonnenstrahl. Jedoch, in wen ist die Rose verliebt? Das wüßt' ich gar zu gern. Ist es die singende Nachtigall? Ist es der schweigende Abendstern? Ich weiß nicht, in wen die Rose verliebt; Ich aber lieb' euch all: Rose, Schmetterling, Sonnenstrahl, Abendstern und Nachtigall.
