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 Olindo Guerrini (1845 - 1916), as Lorenzo Stecchetti
Translation by Láska van Oestéren

Stumme Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Wenn die letzten Blätter fallen,
wirst du wohl zum Friedhof geh'n,
und in einer dunkeln Ecke
wird mein schlichtes Grabkreuz steh'n.

Blumen werden dort erblühen,
und vielleicht wirst du dich bücken,
mit des Herbstes letzten Kindern
dir das blonde Haupt zu schmücken.

Blumen, meinem Grab entsprossen:
Lieder sind's, die ich nicht schrieb,
sind die niegesproch'nen Worte
meiner stummen, heißen Lieb'.
