Die schönsten Reime
 (Sung text for setting by A. von Hoffmann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Noch in keinem Liede fand ich
Reime je so wunderbar
Und so rein, wie deiner Wänglein,
Deiner Augen süßes Paar.

Schöngepaart die Lippen lächeln;
Doppelt blickst du himmelwärts
Hast zwei Füßchen, hast zwei Händchen,
Aber nur ein einzig Herz.

Ungereimt, Kind, darf nicht bleiben
Grade nur dein Herz allein?
Und der beste Reim auf deines —
Sollt' es nicht das meine sein?

Composition:

    Set to music by Alexander von Hoffmann , "Die schönsten Reime", published 1892 [ voice and piano ], from [Fünf] Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte, no. 2, Wien, Rörich
