Robert Franz (28 June 1815 – 24 October 1892) was a German composer, mainly of lieder.
Singer for Your Supper
The music played at fancy restaurants
Is almost never that of Robert Franz.
There never was a hungry menu reader
Whose appetite was stirred by German Lieder.
The art song, though it has its proper uses,
Is not a thing to prod the gastric juices.
