Schmetterling ist in die Rose Verliebt, Die

Der Schmetterling ist in die Rose verliebt

The butterfly is in love with the rose
 And flutters about her all day,
While he, in turn, is pursued by a bright
 Sunbeam that follows his way.

But wait,—with whom is the rose in love?
 For whom does she tremble and pale?
Is it the silent evening star?
 Or the singing nightingale?

I do not know whom the red rose loves;
 But I love you all, for I
Sing nightingale, sunbeam, and evening star,
 The rose and the butterfly!
