Schubert-Die Taubenpost (1828)

This is Schubert's last song. Yesterday my German friend sang something which I completely misunderstood (to our amusement). I forgot that Tauber means 'pigeons', as well as meaning 'deaf people'. The song was about poisoning Tauber in the park. I was mortified, as I am slightly deaf in the left ear.
