"The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily" (German: "Das Märchen" or simply "Märchen") is a literary fairy tale by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published in 1795 in Friedrich Schiller's German magazine Die Horen ('The Horae'). The story revolves around the crossing and bridging of a river, which represents the divide between the outer life of the senses and the ideal aspirations of the human being. It concludes Goethe's short-story rondo The German Refugees. "Das Märchen" is regarded as the founding example of the genre of the Kunstmärchen, or artistic fairy tale.
