Today at dawn a butterfly Came to my window sill The sunlight gleaming on his wings Wakened me from my dreams O butterfly if you could speak What would you say to me Do you know now of whom I'm dreaming Did he send you to me Perhaps perhaps you've come to say Good morning my dearest one Last night I told you I adored you Asked if you loved me too You laughed and said you did not know If it would be wise to tell Perhaps perhaps it would be wiser If I told you goodbye Perhaps perhaps he does not know I did not mean what I said Perhaps perhaps you better tell him Tell him I love him so
