Eichendorff, Joseph Freiherr von

    0.04 sec.

Eichendorff, Joseph Freiherr von (1788–1857)

German Romantic poet and novelist. Among his finest poems are those expressing his longing for nature: Durch Feld und Buchenhallen, In einem kühlen Gründe, da geht ein Mühlenrad, and Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen. His novels include Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts (1826). His work was set to music by Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, and Hugo Wolf.

His language is simple and musical; his poems convey a profound sincerity, and appear to be the spontaneous expression of a serene mind.
