Cäcilia in drei Gesangen" (Munich, 1843), and the widely known and popular poems "Die Gottesfahrt nach Trier" (Coblenz, 1844), "Die arme Pilgerin zum hl. Rock" (Coblenz, 1845), the "Gedichte" (Munich, 1844), evince true art, deep perception and delicate tenderness, combined with power of conception and vigour of form. His work "Der hürnen Siegfried und sein Kampf mit dem Drachen" (The Heroic Life and Exploits of Siegfried the Dragon-Slayer) (Schaffhausen, 1843) was ilustrated by Wilhelm von Kaulbach. In 1840, he wrote a detailed account of the Oberammergau Passion Play. In 1846 he began with Count Pocci, as he had formerly done in the case of the Feast Calendar, the publication of an illustrated magazine called the "Deutsches Hausbuch", which however appeared for two years only. On the death of Brentano, Görres edited his "Märchen" (2 volumes, Stuttgart, 1846). He also produced an excellent German translation of "The Imitation of Christ" (St. Pölten, 1839, with illustrations by Steinle). In 1844 Görres married the composer and writer Maria Vespermann, who gave him three daughters. But his conjugal happiness was not to last more than eight years, for he died at Munich at the age of forty-seven years.
