3.Meinem Kinde

After the birth of his son Franz on April 12, 1897, Strauss the proud papa set Gustav Falke's tenderly sentimental little poem "Meinem Kinde" (My Child), Op. 37/3, as an innocent strophic song. With its gently turning melody above sweet countermelodies and warm chords in the piano accompaniment and its wide-eyed and heartfelt melody for the voice, Meinem Kind is as guileless and beautiful as any song Strauss ever composed. Although often sung by a soprano, the song is clearly a hymn to paternal love.
