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 James Stephens (1882 - 1950)

Everything that I can spy
Language: English 
Everything that I can spy 
Through the circle of my eye. 
Everything that I can see 
Has been woven out of me. 
I have sown the stars ; I threw 
Clouds of morn and noon and eve 
In the deeps and steeps of blue ; 
And each thing that I perceive. 
Sun and sea and mountain high. 
Are made and moulded by my eye : 
Closing it, I do but find 
Darkness, and a little wind.
