Johann Gaudenz von Salis-Seewis

Johann Gaudenz von Salis-Seewis was a Swiss officer and poet from Graubünden, whose graceful songs of nature and melancholy were widely set to music.

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).
