History
Bruckner composed the second setting of the work on the same text of Ernst Marinelli in December 1857 during his stay in Linz. It is not known whether the work, which was composed possibly on request of Liedertafel Frohsinn for a performance as mixed choir,C. van Zwol, p. 723 was performed during Bruckner's life.U. Harten, p. 141
The original manuscript of the work is lost. A sketch of the work is stored in the archive of Enns.
The work, of which a copy was issued in Band III/2, pp. 13-17, of the Göllerich/Auer biography, is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 12 of the {{lang|de|Gesamtausgabe}}.[http://www.mwv.at/TextBruckner/Katalog/liederWelt.htm Gesamtausgabe – Weltliche Chöre]
