An addition to last poem in the cycle: Müller wrote the poems Schubert set to music before writing the pro and epilogue. Both of these have a rather removed and pondering character even, but he wrote those after the fact when he had a little bit of distance to the event that (supposedly) led him to writing the cycle: His own failed love interest in a friend of his. While they are interesting in the interpretation of the cycle, one should bear in mind they werent originally a part of it
