Extra Information BSB lists Robert Burns (presumably in translation) among sources for a song in this cycle? Lieder.net does not, but it would be interesting to find out if so. (Banck's Op.70 No.9, "Eileen a Roon" is, not surprisingly, to a translation (by Freiligrath) of a poem by Burns, according to Lieder.net, by the way.)
