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

Ach, mir ist das Herz so schwer!
Traurig irr' ich hin und her,
Suche Ruhe, finde keine,
Geh ans Fenster hin, und weine!

Sässest du auf meinem Schooß,
Würd ich aller Sorgen los,
Und aus deinen blauen Augen 
Würd ich Lieb' und Wonne saugen!

Könnt' ich doch, du süsses Kind,
Fliegen hin zu dir geschwind!
Könnt ich ewig dich umfangen,
Und an deinen Lippen hangen!
