One of his earliest works was the cantata the Song of Lament and he set a bunch of folk-poems to music in his work The Young Lad's Magic Horn. "Now the sun wants to rise as brightly" is the first of the poems by Friedrich Ruckert that he set to music in his Songs on the Death of Children and Hans Bethge's translation of ancient Chinese poetry inspired his work The Song of the Earth.
