Schubert songs originally for mezzo soprano?

[pbryld]

Are there any Schubert songs out there that was originally written for mezzo soprano?

Thanks in advance!

Lieder, not songs, please!

My understanding is that all of them are pretty flexible as far as voice is concerned and that none were written for a particular voice.  Certainly most of them have been recorded by sopranos, mezzos, baritones and tenors.

I wrote song on purpose, since I'm writing in English. Lied means song.

And OK. Thanks.

The Lieder cycle "Winterreise" was originally written for tenor. I am very sure about that.
P.S.: I read somewhere that it was actually Schubert himself who started the practice of transposing and/or re-arranging certain of his already existing Lieder (most or all are for high voice) for other vocal ranges.
