This article depicts Schubert's attempts to find a musical parallel for poetic irony, especially in der Wanderer. Schubert presupposes that the text of the song can reflect in some way "an absollute synthesis of absolute antitheses". However, who can recognize that his depiction of text's irony is same as that envisioned by the poet? Thus, this deals with not only the definition of Romantic irony but also a cursory runthrough of Schubert's setting. As a result, we find that Schubert reflects poetic ideas in his song.
