A German poet and prose-writer; born in Dresden, June 7, 1810; died at Pillnitz, Aug. 23, 1862. His comedy called "The Strange Breakfast" (1834) was followed by a volume of charming lyric poetry under the title "Look About You, Look Within You" (1851); and by "Learn, Live, Love", and other successful efforts. His novels show talent; but his reputation must rest upon his verse, which is graceful, unhackneyed, and ingenious.
