Listen to Schubert's Erlkonig (CD 3: Tr. 1-8); however, try not to follow the translation. If you were unaware of the meaning of the lyrics, would this song convey a meaning or evoke any images to you? What are those images

1) I love this song 2) I imagine someone telling an emotional and dramatic story. You can faintly make out words like “my father” which amplify the uneasy feeling a this piece conveys. The ending, when is goes soft, contrasts vastly with the final chords, furthering that uneasy feeling.
