New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Schilflieder. Cyklus von 5 Gesängen für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung

Song Cycle by A. Friedland

1. Drüben geht die Sonne scheiden  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Drüben [geht]1 die Sonne scheiden,
Und der müde Tag entschlief.
[Niederhangen]2 hier die Weiden
In den Teich, so still, so tief.

Und ich muß mein Liebstes meiden:
Quill, o Thräne, quill hervor!
Traurig säuseln hier die Weiden,
Und im Winde bebt das Rohr.

[In mein stilles, tiefes Leiden]3
[Strahlst du, Ferne! hell und mild]4,
[Wie durch Binsen hier und Weiden
Strahlt des Abendsternes Bild.]5

2. Trübe wird's, die Wolken jagen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Trübe]1 wird's, die Wolken jagen,
Und der Regen niederbricht,
Und die lauten Winde klagen:
Teich, wo ist dein Sternenlicht?

Suchen den erloschnen Schimmer
Tief im aufgewühlten See.
Deine Liebe lächelt nimmer
Nieder in mein tiefes Weh!

3. Auf geheimem Waldespfade  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf geheimem Waldespfade
Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein
An das öde Schilfgestade,
Mädchen, und gedenke dein!

Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert,
Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll,
Und es klaget und es flüstert,
Daß ich weinen, weinen soll.

Und ich mein', ich höre wehen
Leise deiner Stimme Klang,
Und im Weiher untergehen
Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

4. Sonnenuntergang; schwarze Wolken zieh'n  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonnenuntergang;
Schwarze Wolken zieh'n,
O wie schwül und bang
Alle Winde flieh'n!

Durch den Himmel wild
Jagen Blitze bleich;
Ihr vergänglich Bild
Wandelt durch den Teich.

[Wie Gewitter klar]1
Mein' ich Dich zu seh'n,
Und dein langes Haar
Frei im Sturme weh'n!

5. Auf dem Teich, dem regungslosen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen,
Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz,
Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen
In des Schilfes grünen Kranz.

Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel,
Blicken [in]1 die Nacht empor;
Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel
Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr.

Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken;
Durch die tiefste Seele geht
Mir ein süßes Deingedenken,
Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.
