No it was not. The title is confusing, but (and it was ErlKonig in German) the title refers to the spirit of Death. ( why not Totenkopf- or Dead head- skull and crossbones?) The song-story would be banned outright today- a child is either mortally wounded or terminally ill and is being conveyed by his Father and some others in a horse-drawn vehicle to one assumes, a hospital. The child dies on the way. The cause of the predicament is not made known to the listeners- it could have been an accident of some kind. How anybody could consider something like this as (Romantic) is beyond me. True, there are or were popular songs such as ( Last Kiss) which is received by a young man from his dying girlfriend - the cause being an automobile accident.-at least that has a normal romance- boy and girl- backdrop. How anybody could see anything Romantic about a song as morbid and ghoulish ( there are shadown and flash-lightining sound effects, as I recall) as entertainment I do not know. as we don"t know how the kid got in this fix it could not be considered a moral lesson on bad habits. I just don"t like the idea.

The Erlking is about a father and son who are riding home on a horse and the Erlking, who is like a mythical seductive elf.
