Excerpt from Deutsche Gedichte: Selected With Notes and an Introduction
This little volume purposes enabling the American student to acquaint himself with some of the best and most characteristic Ger man literary ballads and lyrics since the dawn of the classical period. It was not deemed necessary to introduce specimens of popular poetry, as Prof. H. S. White's Deutsche Volks lieder affords ample opportunity for the study of that rich part of German literature which reflects the life of the people, especially dur ing the vigorous sixteenth century. On the other hand, an effort was made to select some of the most popular student-songs, inasmuch as they are the expression of a very interesting side of German life.
