This, from the Britannica, is the sort of observation behind my comment on lieder. I should have said that whether it scans or not is often immaterial, since the music takes precedence over the poetic line:

Brahms, more like Schubert than Schumann, assigned prime importance to the voice but at times sacrificed text declamation for balance in musical phrasing.
