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 Richard Pohl (1826 - 1896)

Mein Alles
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wär' auch der ganze 
Erdkreis mein eigen; 
Und könnte mein Ruhm 
Zu den Sternen steigen; 

Und wär' ich geliebt 
Von allen Wesen; 
Und könnte mein Geist 
In der Zukunft lesen; 

Was hätt' ich, wenn du, 
Nur du nicht mein Eigen? 
Dein Herz nicht könnte 
Zu mir sich neigen? 

In deiner Liebe, 
So herrlich, so rein, 
Ist nicht nur die Erde, 
Der Himmel ist mein!

Confirmed with Gedichte von Richard Pohl, Weimar: Landes-Industrie-Comptoir, 1859, pages 27 - 28. Appears in Helle Tage.
