Gesang der Geister über den Wassern

"Gesang der Geister über den Wassern" (transl. Song of the Spirits over the Waters) is a 1779 poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832). It may be best known in the English-speaking world through a musical setting of 1820–21 by Franz Schubert (1797–1828) as a part song for men's voices and low strings (D.714).
