The 'Kindertotenlieder' are a cycle of five songs set for voice and orchestra by Gustav Mahler. The words of the songs are poems written by Friedrich Rückert.

The five songs are:

  • Nun will die Sonn' so hell aufgeh'n.
  • Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen.
  • Wenn dein Mütterlein.
  • Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen.
  • In diesem Wetter!
