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

Sieben Lieder

Song Cycle by Herbert Frederick Birch Reynardson

1. Über die Berge steigt schon die Sonne  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über die Berge steigt schon die Sonne,
Die Lämmerheerde läutet von fern:
Mein Liebchen, mein Lamm, meine Sonne und Wonne,
Noch einmal säh' ich dich gar zu gern!

Ich schaue hinauf mit spähender Miene,
"Leb' wohl, mein Kind, ich wandre von hier!"
Vergebens! es regt sich keine Gardine;
Sie liegt noch und schläft und träumt von mir.

6. Wenn zwei von einander scheiden  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn zwei von einander scheiden,
So geben sie sich die Händ',
Und fangen an zu weinen,
Und seufzen ohne End'.

Wir haben nicht [geweinet]1,
Wir seufzten nicht Weh und Ach!
Die [Tränen und die Seufzer]2,
Die kamen hinten nach.

7. Wo?  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo wird einst des Wandermüden
Letzte Ruhestätte sein?
Unter Palmen in dem Süden?
Unter Linden an dem Rhein?

Werd' ich wo in einer Wüste
Eingescharrt von fremder Hand?
Oder ruh' ich an der Küste
Eines Meeres in dem Sand?

Immerhin! Mich wird umgeben
[Gotteshimmel]1, dort wie hier,
Und als [Totenlampen]2 schweben
Nachts die Sterne über mir.
