Gottfried August Bürger was a German poet from Molmerswende (now a part of Mansfeld), Principality of Halberstadt, where his father was the Lutheran pastor. Bürger's talent for popular poetry was very considerable, and his ballads are among the finest in the German language, of which Lenore, Das Lied vom braven Manne, Die Kuh, Der Kaiser und der Abt and Der wilde Jäger are famous.

Quotes by Gottfried August Bürger (?)

“What yonder rings? what yonder sings?
Why shrieks the owley grey? —
‘Tis death-bells’ clang, ‘tis funeral song,
The body to the clay”
― Gottfried August Bürger
