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

Tausend Grüsse
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Küsset dir ein Lüftchen fein, 
Wangen oder Hände,  
Denke, dass es Grüsse sein, 
Die ich zu dir sende.  
Tausend send' ich täglich aus, 
Dass sie wehen um dein Haus, 
Wie ich dein gedenke. 

Kommt ein kleines Vögelein, 
Zu dir hingeflogen, 
Denk', es sei die Sehnsucht mein, 
Die dir nachgezogen. 
Höre, was sie freundlich spricht, 
Und vergiss das Fernen nicht, 
Der nur dein gedenket.

See also Lebewohl (Des Knaben Wunderhorn), whose fourth stanza resembles the first stanza above.
