The White Snake

Geibel's romantic and melancholy poems are full of poignant imagery and deep feeling. This collection, first published in 1846, features such classics as 'The White Snake' and 'Songs of the Dead', which reflect on topics such as love, death, nature, and art. Geibel was one of the most popular poets of his time, and his influence can be seen in the work of later writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke and Thomas Mann.
