A German poet; born in Lubeck, Oct. 18, 1815; died there, April 6, 1884. His early choice was for the clerical life, but he soon turned to poetry and to the study of Greek history and letters. He was a versatile writer, and many productions of exquisite sentiment and pathos, as well as works in lighter vein,- notably "Master Andrea", a comedy,- have proceeded from his pen.
