Schubert composed many kinds of music, but his songs are most loved by everybody. They are sung all over the world. And just because he never let a song come from his lips that did not first come from his heart. Is not this a jolly one? [Illustration: No. 3 FROM SCHUBERT'S SONG "WANDERING."] Schubert's full name was FRANZ PETER SCHUBERT. He was born in Vienna, in a very simple house that looks quite old-fashioned.
