F major. The original title is "The Merry Peasant, Returning Home from Work". Against the graceful melody presented by the left hand, the eighth-note accompaniment, starting on the off-beat of the first beat, brings a sense of liveliness. From measure 9, the piece becomes more complex, and the right hand takes on both the melody and the accompaniment, making differentiation in playing crucial.

F major, 4/4 time. This is the most famous piece in the collection. The opening is marked "Frisch und munter" (lively and cheerful). Within the total of 20 measures, the four-measure main theme appears four times, with a different melody appearing only in measures 9-10 and 15-16 (measures 9-10 and 15-16 share the same melodic pattern). It is a piece that evokes the image of someone happily returning home after a day's work. The illustration for this piece on the frontispiece depicts a farmer, his young son, and a dog, representing their journey home with smoke rising from the chimney. According to Eugenie (the seventh child of the Schumann family), the first eight measures are sung by the father alone, after which the son joins in for a duet.
