Wilhelm Müller

Wilhelm Müller was born at Dessau, where he worked as a librarian and schoolmaster. His song cycles Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise were set by Franz Schubert.

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).
