One of these title people is asked, “art thou nearer to me, or am I nearer to thee?” by an “antique” in a Friedrich Schiller poem. An archetypal “merry” one of these people titles a poem by the author of Memoirs of a Good-for-Nothing, Joseph von Eichendorff. One of these people titles a poem whose speaker claims that “in all the treetops hearest thou hardly a breath” and that “soon like these, thou too shalt rest.” A pair of poems titled for one of these people were written under an oak tree and on a cabin wall by Goethe, who called them “nightsongs.” One of these people sighs and asks, “Where?” in a Georg Philipp Schmidt poem adapted as a lied by Franz Schubert. The sequel to Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship depicts his “Years” as one of these people. For 10 points, German Romantics often depicted a type of “lust” named for what people? ■END■
