Per Sehnietterling ist in die Rose vcrliebt, 

 Umflattert sie tausendmal, 

 Ihn selber aber goldig zart, 

 Umflattert der liebende Sonncnstrahl. 



Jedoch, in wen ist die Rose verliebt? 

 Das wlisst' ich gar zu gern. 

 Ist es die singende Nachtigall? 

 Ist es der sehweigende Abendstern? 



Ich Weiss nicht, in wen die Rose verliebt: 

 Ich aber lieb' euch all'; 

 Rose, Schmetterling, Sonncnstrahl, 

 Abendstern und Nachtigall.
