Am Brunnen vor dem Tore

"Am Brunnen vor dem Tore" ("At the Well in Front of the Gate") is the opening verse of a German song, known both as a art song and a folk song. Its original title is "Der Lindenbaum" (The Linden Tree). The text was written by Wilhelm Müller as part of his poetry cycle Winterreise (Winter Journey). Franz Schubert set the entire cycle to music under the title Winterreise, including "Der Lindenbaum" as an art song. In its most popular arrangement by Friedrich Silcher, the work became a folk song, with the opening verse commonly used as its title.
