Racker later gave the poem a ite drawn from the third stanza, "Kehe’ ein bei mir” (Commune with me. This song and two others on Rackert texts (see “Lachen und Weinen") were published as Op. 59 in September of 1826 by Sauer and Leidesdort This text allowed Schubert to group stanzas into a three-part modified strophc form, and the reverent transcendence ofthe verse finds perfect poise in the music's balance of quietude and intensity.
