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

All mein Wirken, all mein Leben,
Strebt nach dir Verehrte hin!
Alle meine Sinne weben
Mir dein Bild o Zauberinn!
Du entflammest meinen Busen
Zu der Leyer Harmonie,
Du begeisterst mehr als Musen
Und entzückest mehr als sie. - -
Ach dein blaues Auge strahlet
Durch den Sturm der Seele mild,
Und dein süßes Lächeln mahlet
Rosig mir der Zukunft Bild.
Herrlich schmückt des Himmels Gränzen
Zwar [Aurorens]1 Purpurlicht,
Aber lieblicheres Glänzen
Uiberdeckt dein Angesicht,
Wenn mit wonnetrunknen Blicken
Ach! und unaussprechlich schön,
Meine Augen voll Entzücken
Purpurn dich erröthen sehn.

Quand je la vis rougir
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tous mes efforts, toute ma vie
Cherchent à t'atteindre, chère !
Tous mes sens tissent
Pour moi ton portrait, ô enchanteresse !

Tu enflammes mon cœur
Avec le harmonies de la lyre,
Tu inspires plus que les Muses
Et tu me ravis plus qu'elles !

Ah, tes yeux bleus rayonnent
Doucement à travers la tempête de mon âme,
Et ton aimable sourire peint
Pour moi une image rose du futur.

Les limites du ciel sont magnifiquement ornées,
Certes, par la lumière pourpre de l'aurore,
Mais un éclat plus adorable
Recouvre ton visage.

Quand avec des regards ivres de bonheur,
Ah, et quelle beauté indicible c'est
Quand mes yeux pleins de ravissement
Te voient rougir d'une teinte pourpre.
