Wesendonck Lieder, WWV 91, is the common title of a song cycle by Richard Wagner. He composed the setting of five poems by Mathilde Wesendonck, with titles translating to "The Angel", "Stand still!", "In the Greenhouse", "Sorrows" and "Dreams", while he was working on the Tristan und Isolde opera. The songs and the Siegfried Idyll poem are his only two non-operatic works that are still performed regularly. The Wesendonck Lieder were published under the German title Fünf Gedichte von Mathilde Wesendonk für eine Frauenstimme und Klavier in 1857 and 1858 by C. F. Peters.
The cycle is a setting of poems by Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of one of Richard Wagner's patrons. Wagner had become acquainted with Otto Wesendonck in Zurich, where he had fled on his escape from Saxony after the May Uprising in Dresden in 1849. For a time Wagner and his wife Minna lived together in the Asyl (German for Asylum in the sense of "sanctuary"), a small cottage on the Wesendonck estate.
