Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué

Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué was a Prussian officer and Romantic writer, best known for the tale Undine (1811) and for his chivalric romances.

James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849) translated this poet in his German Anthology (1845); the poems here are his English versions, as reprinted in Poems, ed. John Mitchel (New York, 1859).
