E minor, 2/4 time. The original title was "Children's Sorrow." This piece expresses the children's grief when a small bird (siskin) kept by the Schumann family died on January 5, 1848. The illustration on the frontispiece also depicts this scene. The instructions "Not fast" appear at the beginning, and "A little slower" in the latter half. When the theme is recapitulated "Im Tempo," it begins with a canon.
