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

Auf die Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Our translations:  FRE
Laßt die Rose, Eros' Blume,
Zu Lyäen sich gesellen;
Mit der Rose Zier die Schläfe
Kränzend, lasset uns den Becher
Leeren unter milden Scherzen!

Rose heißt die schönste Blume,
Rose heißt des Lenzes Schoßkind,
Rosen flicht der Sohn Kytheres
Um die gelben Ringelhaare,
Mit den Chariten zu tanzen.

Kränze, Bakchos, mich mit Rosen,
Und ich will, die Laute rührend,
Mit dem zierlichsten der Mädchen,
Deinen Kranz auf meinem Haupte,
Froh bei deinem Tempel tanzen.
