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

Durch die Waldnacht trabt mein Thier
Sacht beim Sterngefunkel,
All mein Glück liegt hinter mir,
Vor mir nichts als Dunkel.
Welke Blätter wirbeln wild
In des Sturms Gewimmer --
Lebewohl geliebtes Bild!
Lebewohl für immer!

Ach, wohl mag der Menschenbrust
Lieb' ein Himmel scheinen,
Doch nach allzuflücht'ger Lust
[Giebt]1 sie langes Weinen.
Sehnsucht ewig ungestillt
Folgt dem kurzen Schimmer --
Lebewohl geliebtes Bild!
Lebewohl für immer!
