The Penguin Book of German Verse is a rich collection of poetry spanning over 1,000 years, with poems as early as A.D.800 in the original language. The translation provided is good although sometimes faulty, and Schiller is somewhat inadequately represented. All things considered, it's an excellent book, either for pleasure or study.
