Erlenkönig
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.-
Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?-
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron` und Schweif?-
Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.-
