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

Sechs Lieder

Song Cycle by August Daniel Ferdinand Victor Wilhelmj (1845 - 1908)

3. Hör' ich das Liedchen klingen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hör' ich das Liedchen klingen,
Das einst die Liebste sang,
[So will mir die Brust]1 zerspringen
[Vor]2 wildem [Schmerzendrang.]3

[Es treibt mich]4 ein dunkles Sehnen
Hinauf [zur]5 Waldeshöh',
Dort löst sich auf in Tränen
Mein übergroßes Weh'.

4. So hast du ganz und gar vergessen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
So hast du ganz und gar vergessen,
Daß ich so lang dein Herz besessen,
Dein Herzchen so süß und so falsch und so klein,
Es kann nirgend was süßres [und]1 falscheres sein.

So hast du die Lieb und das Leid vergessen,
Die das Herz mir täten zusammenpressen.
Ich weiß nicht, war Liebe größer als Leid?
Ich weiß nur, sie waren groß alle beid!

5. Sirenengesang  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Und überstrahlt die [Welln]1;
Ich halte mein Liebchen umfangen,
Und unsre Herzen [schwelln]2.

Im Arm des holden Kindes
Ruh' ich allein am Strand;
"Was horchst du beim Rauschen des Windes?
Was zuckt deine weiße Hand?"

""Das ist kein Rauschen des Windes,
Das ist der Seejungfern [Gesang]3,
Und meine Schwestern sind es,
Die einst das Meer verschlang.""

6. Das Fischermädchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du schönes Fischermädchen,
Treibe den Kahn an's Land;
Komm zu [mir und setze]1 dich nieder,
Wir kosen Hand in Hand.

Leg' an mein Herz dein Köpfchen,
Und fürchte dich nicht [zu]2 sehr,
[Vertrau'st du dich]3 doch [sorglos]4
Täglich dem wilden Meer.

Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere,
Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Fluth,
Und manche schöne Perle
In seiner Tiefe ruht.5
