Wer reitet so sp\u00e4t durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er fa\u00dft ihn sicher, er h\u00e4lt ihn warm.

Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlk\u00f6nig nicht?
Den Erlenk\u00f6nig mit Kron’ und Schweif?
Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.

“Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
Gar sch\u00f6ne Spiele spiel’ ich mit dir;
Manch’ bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
Meine Mutter hat manch g\u00fclden Gewand.”

Mein Vater, mein Vater, und h\u00f6rest du nicht,
Was Erlenk\u00f6nig mir leise verspricht?
Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
In d\u00fcrren Bl\u00e4ttern s\u00e4uselt der Wind.

“Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
Meine T\u00f6chter sollen dich warten sch\u00f6n;
Meine T\u00f6chter f\u00fchren den n\u00e4chtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein.”

Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlk\u00f6nigs T\u00f6chter am d\u00fcstern Ort?
Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh’ es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau.

“Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine sch\u00f6ne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch’ ich Gewalt.”
Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt fa\u00dft er mich an!
Erlk\u00f6nig hat mir ein Leids getan!

Dem Vater grauset’s; er reitet geschwind,
Er h\u00e4lt in den Armen das \u00e4chzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit M\u00fche und Not;
In seinen Armen, das Kind war tot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1472","curated_poem","type-curated_poem","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nDer Erlk\u00f6nig - TEST ENVIRONMENT The German Poetry Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/test.germanpoetry.com\/de\/curated_poem\/der-erlkonig\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Der Erlk\u00f6nig - TEST ENVIRONMENT The German Poetry Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Wer reitet so sp\u00e4t durch Nacht und Wind?Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,Er fa\u00dft ihn sicher, er h\u00e4lt ihn warm.Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?Siehst, Vater, du den Erlk\u00f6nig nicht?Den Erlenk\u00f6nig mit Kron’ und Schweif?Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.“Du liebes Kind, komm, geh […]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/test.germanpoetry.com\/de\/curated_poem\/der-erlkonig\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TEST ENVIRONMENT The German Poetry Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-19T17:28:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/curated_poem\\\/der-erlkonig\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/curated_poem\\\/der-erlkonig\\\/\",\"name\":\"Der Erlk\u00f6nig - TEST ENVIRONMENT The German Poetry Blog\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-08-18T18:20:23+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-08-19T17:28:17+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/curated_poem\\\/der-erlkonig\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"de\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/curated_poem\\\/der-erlkonig\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/curated_poem\\\/der-erlkonig\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Curated poems\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/curated_poem\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Der Erlk\u00f6nig\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/\",\"name\":\"The German Poetry Blog\",\"description\":\"Learn German the Poetic Way\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/28951f03c29e191e2ab8b8c73ba1d247\"},\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"de\"},{\"@type\":[\"Person\",\"Organization\"],\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/28951f03c29e191e2ab8b8c73ba1d247\",\"name\":\"brigitte\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"de\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/A1201455.jpg\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/A1201455.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/A1201455.jpg\",\"width\":1666,\"height\":2500,\"caption\":\"brigitte\"},\"logo\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/test.germanpoetry.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/A1201455.jpg\"},\"description\":\"A German Literature Enthusiast, coming from the Rhineland, is starting a Bi Lingual Website Website.
