Lied \Lied\ (l[=e]t), n.; pl. Lieder (l[=e]"d[~e]r). [G.]
   (Mus.)
   A lay; a German song. It differs from the French chanson,
   and the Italian canzone, all three being national.
   [1913 Webster]

         The German Lied is perhaps the most faithful reflection
         of the national sentiment.               --Grove.
