"Rätsel" (Riddle) is a German riddle-song from the 1806 collection of folks songs Des Knaben Wunderhorn by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano.[1]
The text is written in iambic tetrameter.[2] According to German studies academic Klaus Manger, this folk poem might have inspired Brentano for some of his own poems.[3]
The song was also published in later songbooks and anthologies (Mythologische Bibliothek,[4] Carl Gustav Schwetschke's Die Natur etc.).[5]
