Work introduction
The song, based on a poem by Rellstab, was collected by Schubert's publisher in the posthumous cycle Schwanengesang. The text describes a lover's entreaties to the beloved - a poem of yearning - and the melody is one of Schubert's most famous creations.
The arrangement is set for voice & string quintet or string orchestra.
