Der Schmetterling by Angelina Figus — Lyrics
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.

About Der Schmetterling
Angelina Figus's Der Schmetterling paints a tender scene of love in nature. The German text describes a butterfly in love with a rose, fluttering around it, while the sun's rays lovingly embrace the butterfly. The poet wonders about the rose's own affections, questioning if it is the nightingale or the evening star. Ultimately, unable to discern the rose's true love, the speaker declares love for all – the rose, the butterfly, the sunbeam, the evening star, and the nightingale. This Lieder for SSA voices captures the delicate beauty and affectionate wonder of its subject matter through its charming melody and heartfelt lyrics.
