by Johann Georg Fischer (1816 - 1897)

O Lied, du bist das schönste Weib
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Lied, du bist das schönste Weib, 
Das erst im Walde schlief,
Und nun erhebt den süßen Leib, 
Das Auge groß und tief.

O Lied, du bist das schönste Weib, 
Das Rätsel sinnt und löst,
Und nun den Reiz an Seel' und Leib
Dem Staunenden entblößt.

O Weib, du singst und alles lebt,
Und alles ist Gestalt,
Und über jeder Seele schwebt 
Die tönende Gewalt.
