Auch kleine Dinge können uns entzücken,
Auch kleine Dinge können teuer sein.
Bedenkt, wie gern wir uns mit Perlen schmücken;
Sie werden schwer bezahlt und sind nur klein.

Bedenkt, wie klein ist die Olivenfrucht,
Und wird um ihre Güte doch gesucht.
Denkt an die Rose nur, wie klein sie ist,
Und duftet doch so lieblich, wie ihr wisst.
 -Toskanisches Volkslied, translated by Paul Heyse

Why do I love Lied? beacuse it is the best genre of all genres, because it is the most intimate jewel, because the connection between poetry and music, voice and piano, is the best thing in the world.
