"The night is still, the streets are quiet,
In this house lived my love;
She left the town long before,
Yet her house is still standing in the same place.
There I also see a man standing and staring into the heavens,
Wringing his hands in violent grief.
I shudder when I behold his face;
The moon reveals to me my own likeness.
You Doppelgänger, you pale companion!
Why do you mimic my lovesickness,
That tormented me at this place
For so many nights in the past?"

Does anyone here recognize this poem?

Is it not the lyrics for Franz Schubert's Der Doppelgänger?

Is that

Yes. Where did you hear it?

I am well-versed in the Classical and Romantic periods of Earth's musical history. Der Doppelgänger is noted for being one of Schubert's final compositions.

[several marks of hesitation, a few stray lines drawn near the word Earth]

I see; I wasn't aware that it was his last composition.

Was there any particular significance behind your query? I do not understand its relevance to the matter at hand.

[even more hesitation marks]

It holds a special signifigance to my friends and I, and I was hoping that one of them is here and would recognize it.

I see.

Would it not be more efficient to simply list their names and make inquiries regarding their whereabouts?

There have been problems with memory before. I didn't think doing that would work.
