How does Schubert's Erlking capture the strangeness and wonder of Goethe's ballad?

I am only vaguely familiar with this morbid song-cycle as it is called and cannot fathom why or wherefore it was even allowed to pass the censor. it has, of course strangeness and wonder (as do the works of Poe) but the whole thing is downbeat and would, needless to say, be consigned to the circular file if considered as a plot device for a television show or comic book. I never could understand the reason why the morbid death of a child theme had any currency-except perhaps in crime fiction based on such senseless crimes as the Ramsay affair and sickening(family-plan) Homicides. Child abuse is bad enough as it is. In both the so-called Sacrifice of Abraham (in the Bible, not Lincoln!) and William Tell-which appears to be a take-off with political overtones rather than religious the child survives. what is the point. one seemingly common thread in some or most of these stories is the kid"s mother is not around! Daddy the destroyer or monster, the Savage side in humankind. Don"t llike it.
