The Orchid and The Bumblebee [German translation]

The orchid flourished in fertile ground

The bumblebee humming a nonlyrical song

As he passed he heard a sobbing sound

He stopped and inquired as what was wrong

Dear bee, replied the orchid, why can I not fly?

Nor live in a hive, or eat honey or even walk

Upon listening well the bee did then sigh

Scratched his antennae and began to talk

Why orchid fragrant, beauty, and sweet

An orchid, a botannical wonder so coverted

Your wasted wishes are your own deceit

No good reason to be so foolishly upsetted

An orchid you are and always you will stay

Be well the orchid and no more may you fret

Blessed am I to keep near a living bouquet

Our differences are nature's way, spurn your regret
