No. 13, "The Poet Speaks"

G major, 4/4 time. ABA three-part form. A recitative is placed in the B section, and it has been pointed out that this melody is quoted from the inner voice of No. 2, "Flight", from Fantasiestücke, Op. 12. Schumann frequently reused material and melodies from one work in others, and this is considered one such example. Clara stated about this work, "Is not the poet who speaks in this piece my beloved one?" and thus seems to have interpreted the title's "poet" as Schumann.
