Das Blümchen Wunderhold, Op. 52 No. 8 by Ludwig van Beethoven — Lyrics
1. Es blüht ein Blümchen irgendwo in einem stillen Thal,
das schmeichelt Aug' und Herz so froh wie Abendsonnenstrahl.
Das ist viel köstlicher als Gold, als Perl' und Diamant.
D'rum wird es Blümchen Wunderhold mit gutem Fugge nannt.
2. Wohl sänge sich ein langes Lied von meines Blümchens Kraft,
wie es am Leib' und am Gemüth so hohe Wunderschafft.
Was kein geheimes Elixir dir sonst währen kann,
das leistet, traun! mein Blümchen dir, man säh'es ihm nicht an.

About Das Blümchen Wunderhold, Op. 52 No. 8
This intimate German Lied captures the delicate beauty and potent charm of a small flower, described as 'Wunderhold' – wondrously beautiful. Beethoven sets a text that praises its ability to enchant the eye and heart, surpassing even gold and diamonds in its value. The song explores how this little bloom possesses a magical, almost medicinal quality, capable of bestowing grace and wonder upon those who cherish it. The composer crafts a gentle, lyrical melody that reflects the poem's tender imagery, creating a miniature portrait of natural loveliness and its profound, transformative effect on the human spirit.
