Am Rüdesheimer Schloss steht eine Linde (At Rüdesheimer Castle Stands a Linden Tree) Foxtrot (E.Ziegler /E.Neubach) - Gesang mit Orchesterbegleitung (Sung with Orchestra) Derby 1925 (Germany; accoustic recording)

NOTE: This is a truly charming song, full of peace and sunlight. I could say, the color of this song is , indeed, a light-golden gleam which on a sunny day, dances in a glass of a Rhein wein, when sunrays are peeping through the crystal walls of a glass and plunge deep into a magic liquid. 
That song was sometimes sung or played on piano at  my home when I was a child. It tells a simple story about a couple of young lovers, who make one sunny day, a trip down the bank of a Neckar river, towards the Rudesheimer castle. Also, it tells about a heart they carved on a trunk of an old linden tree, that stands there. Many years later, when all the sunshine of those day - as well as the youth, and the love - are gone, yet the heart on the tree-trunk is still there.
