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

Vorfrühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Vorfrühling seufzt in weiter Nacht,
daß mir das Herze brechen will;
die Lande ruhn so menschenstill,
nur ich bin aufgewacht.

Oh horch, nun bricht des Eises Wall
auf allen Strömen, allen Seen;
mir ist, ich müßte mit vergehn
und, Woge, wieder auferstehn
zu neuem Klippenfall.

Die Lande ruhn so menschenstill;
nur hier und dort ist wer erwacht,
und seine Seele weint und lacht,
wie es der Tauwind will.
