The primary focus of the book centers around themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, with "Lénore" being the most prominent piece, exploring the haunting relationship between a woman and her undead lover. The central story, "Lénore," recounts the anguish of a young woman mourning her fiancé, Wilhelm, who has gone off to war and seemingly died. As she spirals into despair, she is visited by a ghostly figure of Wilhelm, who takes her away on a spectral horse, leading her into a night filled with dark and eerie symbols of death and fate. Other ballads in the collection explore various facets of human emotions and experiences, such as betrayal, innocence lost, and the struggle between love and societal expectations. Each tale echoes Bürger's fascination with the macabre and the emotional depth of his characters, making the work a significant contribution to German literature of the period.
