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

by Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836)

Augenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Süße Augen, klare Bronnen!
Meine Qual und Seligkeit
Ist fürwahr aus euch [geronnen]1,
Und mein Dichten euch geweiht.

  Wo ich weile,
  [Wie]2 ich eile,
Liebend strahlet ihr mich an;
  Ihr erleuchtet
  Ihr befeuchtet
Mir mit Thränen meine Bahn.

Treue Sterne schwindet nimmer,
Leitet mich zum Acheron!
Und mit eurem letzten Schimmer
Sey mein Leben auch entflohn.
