The Butterfly
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing
against a white stone....
For seven weeks I’ve
lived in here,
Penned up inside this
ghetto.
But I have found what I
love here.
The dandelions call to
me
And the white chestnut
branches in the court.
Only I never saw
another butterfly.
That butterfly was the last one.
Butterflies don’t live in here, in
the ghetto.
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly ’way
up high.
It went away I’m sure
because it wished
to kiss the world goodbye.

Hitler Youth: The Song of the Faithful (1933)
Two men are joined as one in you:
One seems cold and hard,
One who achieves his goals.
Another is tender and kind,
He forgets not even the poorest.
He feels for all of us.
Two streams owe their strength to you.
You are the sap rising from each root,
The seed that gives them birth —
A new spirit rose from you,
That forged us together as a nation
And dwells in us forever!
