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

Our translations:  ENG
Am See, tief zwischen Tann und Silberpappel,
Beschirmt von Mauer und Gesträuch ein Garten,
So weise angelegt mit monatlichen Blumen,
Daß [er vom März bis zum Oktober blüht]1,
Hier in der Früh, nicht allzu häufig,
Sitz ich und wünsche mir,
Auch ich mög alle Zeit in den verschiednen Wettern,
Guten, schlechten, [guten, schlechten,]3
Dies oder jenes Angenehme [zeigen.]2

In the flower garden
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
By the lake, hidden between firs and silvery poplars.
Protected by a wall and bushes, a garden
So wisely planted with various flowers
That it blooms from March to October.
Here, early in the morning, but not too often, I sit
And wish that I too, might at all times,
In all the different weathers - good, bad -
Bring forth something pleasing of one sort or another.
