"The Singing, Springing Lark", "The Singing, Soaring Lark", "The Lady and the Lion" or "Lily and the Lion" (German: Das singende springende Löweneckerchen) is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, appearing as tale no.

[4] Others of this type include Black Bull of Norroway, The Daughter of the Skies, The Brown Bear of Norway, The Enchanted Pig, The Tale of the Hoodie, The Iron Stove, The Sprig of Rosemary, and White-Bear-King-Valemon.

On his journey home, the man sees a lark in a tall tree, and orders his servant to catch it.

In exchange for their lives and the lark, the lion demands that the man bring him the first thing to meet him on his return home.

The youngest daughter has a chamber built to protect him, but the door is made of green wood, and it warps, making a crack.

The youngest daughter stops the fight, but the princess also regains her form and takes the man who had been a lion with her on the griffin.

She brings it to the castle, and the princess buys it from her, the price being that the daughter is to spend the night in her husband's bedchamber.

The heroine of this fairy tale depicts unusual courage in facing the animal bridegroom; it is she who insists that her father's promise must be kept, rather than the common pattern of the father pleading with the daughter to fulfill his word, as in East of the Sun and West of the Moon.

A musical version of The Singing, Springing Lark, written by Dieter Stegmann and Alexander S. Bermange was presented at the Amphitheater Park Schloss Philippsruhe, Hanau, Germany as part of the Brothers Grimm Festival in 2004.
