Die Märchen
 (Sung text for setting by F. Weingartner)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dies Eine möcht' ich gerne wissen,
woher die Menschen die Märchen haben,
die Märchen von den Paradiesen
und von den schönen Zaubergaben;
und von alles liebenden Göttern,
die alles Weh am Ende lindern,
den heiligen Weltfamilienvätern
und den Geschöpfen, ihren Kindern.
Das winkt so vertraut, so heimatferne,
mit solchen altbekannten Zügen:
Die Märchen, die Märchen!
Ich wüßte zu gerne, wie sie entstanden,
die süßen Lügen.
 

Composition:

    Set to music by Felix Paul Weingartner (1863 - 1942), "Die Märchen", op. 46 (Fünf Lieder) no. 2 (1909)
