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

Der Leidende
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Nimmer trag' ich länger
Dieser Leiden Last:
Nimm den müden Pilger
Bald hinauf zu dir.
Immer, immer enger
Wird's in meinem Busen,
Immer, immer trüber
Wird der Augen Blick.
Nimmer trag' ich länger
Dieser Leiden Last.

Öffne mir den Himmel,
Milder, güt'ger Gott!
Laß mich meine Schmerzen
Senken in das Grab!
Allzu viele Qualen
Wüten mir im Innern,
Hin ist jede Hoffnung,
Hin des Herzens Glut.
Öffne mir den Himmel,
Milder, güt'ger Gott!
