Did he really write songs?[edit]

The current text contains: "Müller excelled in popular and political songs that attracted great composers, notably Franz Schubert, and also influenced Heinrich Heine's lyric development."

I must admit ignorance about Müller's work, but he is known primarily as a poet and it was always my impression that Schubert selected, reordered, and set Müller's poetry collections for his two famous song cycles. Yet the sentence above suggests Müller also set some of his own verse as song. Either the quoted sentence is a simple misstatement, or there is something here that the musicological community has been missing? Schubert's two cycles from Müller are extremely important historical parts of the standard literature. If any of the music derives from Müller, even in some small or indirect way, that fact would be profoundly interesting to the musicological community and needs to be brought to the foreground.
