Great! Sad to say that even as a student of Germanistics, I missed many of these. Would you accept the original titles as well? (if not, "Erlking" is a common alternative translation). And is there a reason for choosing these poems out of his many?

Great you liked the quiz! I will look at allowing some different translations. Those were just the poems listed on Wikipedia, maybe I'll look for more and add the rest....:)
