The cycle consists of six songs, each with its own unique character and mood. The first song, "Der gute Genesene an die Hoffnung" (The Convalescent's Ode to Hope), is a joyful and optimistic song that celebrates the return of health and happiness. The second song, "Abends am Strand" (Evening on the Beach), is a peaceful and reflective song that captures the beauty and tranquility of the seaside at dusk. The third song, "Er ist's" (It is Spring), is a lively and playful song that celebrates the arrival of spring and the renewal of life. The fourth song, "Melancholie" (Melancholy), is a somber and introspective song that explores the depths of sadness and despair. The fifth song, "Requiem" (Requiem), is a mournful and contemplative song that reflects on the inevitability of death and the transience of life. The final song, "Stille Liebe" (Silent Love), is a tender and intimate song that expresses the quiet and enduring love between two people. Overall, the 'Songs (6) Reinick, Op. 36' is a diverse and emotionally rich song cycle that showcases Schumann's mastery of the art song form.
