by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Widmung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O holde Fraue, daß ich dir 
Mit Liedern Lust gewähre --
Darum sag' süßen Dank nicht mir,
Dir selbst gebührt die Ehre! 

Dein mildes Wesen ist der Thau, 
Den diese Lieder tranken.
Ich gab das Wort; du holde Frau! 
Gabst ihnen die Gedanken. 

Confirmed with Hochland-Lieder von Karl Stieler, Stuttgart, Meyer & Zeller's Verlag (Friedrich Vogel), 1879, page 143.
