The penultimate poem of one of his sets begins "Death, that is the cool night / Life is the sultry day." In another of his poems, a soldier wants to be buried in full uniform so he can rise from the grave and defend his emperor. At the beginning of that poem by this author, news of Napoléon's capture reaches the title "Grenadiers." The speaker of one of his poems satirically wishes to lay his hands upon the addressee's head and pray to keep her "so comely and beautiful and pure." Another of his poems begins "I do not know what it should mean / that I am so unhappy," since he is haunted by the (*) legend of a maiden who combs her golden hair, whose beauty leads boatmen to drown. His most famous collection includes sections like "Lyrisches Intermezzo," "Die Heimkehr" and "Die Nordsee." For 10 points, name this German Romantic poet, who included poems like "Du bist wie eine Blume" and "Die Loreley" in his Buch der Lieder.
