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 Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Wenn der Fischer 's Netz auswirft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn der Fischer 's Netz auswirft
Die Fischlein aufzufangen,
Spannt er still und hoffnungsvoll
Viel Beute zu erlangen.
Rasch wirft er die Garn hinaus;
Kehrt betrübt und leer nach Haus.
 
Fähret denn den andern Tag
Mit seinem Schifflein wieder,
Und von schönem reichem Fang
Sinkt das Schiff fast nieder;
So wir fuhren heut hinaus,
Kehren vergnügt und reich nach Haus.
