Between this and The Rose by the same composer one begins to suppose that perhaps both were actually written to English texts, given German titles and - etc. Whether Brooks was librettist or translator for these two works (what either/or?), his reputation as a translator was considerable. (Well, in this case unlike that of Op.16, one actually can identify the original source! See RISM 464121107 (SBB abschrift of another setting, from the 1820s.))
Library of Congress received the score in 28(?) January 1850. See Other LoC copy.
