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 Friedrich von Schiller (1759 - 1805)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Fragment av Schillers Thekla (Ett svar ur andevärlden)
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Hvar jag är du frågar, flygtig vorden,
då jag från min faders borgar drog?
Har jag då ej slutat allt på jorden:
har ej den som älskat, lefvat nog?

Frågar du hvart Näktergalen flydde:
hvilken sång ur vårens lund dig hann?
blott de dagar, då han kärlek lydde,
blott så länge, tro mig, lefde han.
