The other poems are written by Goethe, R\u00fcckert and Heine, who are each represented in sev-eral songs. Only one text, which inspired Schumann to write one of his most beloved songs, was written by Julius Mosen: Der Nu\u00dfbaum<\/p>\n

Schumann wrote 26 songs and called them \u201cMyrten\u201d, which means \u201cMyrtles\u201d as wedding gift to Clara Wieck<\/p>\n

All texts of the cycle are in German, but three of the poets are English, Scottish or Irish: Lord Byron, Robert Burns and Thomas Moore.
