"Das Wandern", the opening song in Franz Schubert's song cycle Die schöne Müllerin, an example of a strophic song.

Strophic form – also called verse-repeating form, chorus form, AAA song form, or one-part song form – is a song structure in which all verses or stanzas of the text are sung to the same music. Contrasting song forms include through-composed, with new music written for every stanza, and ternary form, with a contrasting central section.
