He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert.

He wrote several books include: Almansor, Die Harzreise, Reisebilder, Germany. A Winter's Tale(poem), Nachtgedanken(poem), Atta Troll(poem), Romanzero(poem), and Florentine nights.
