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

Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen,
Von Mittag weht es lau,
Aus allen Wiesen sprießen
Die Blumen rot und blau.
Draus wob die braune Heide
Sich ein Gewand gar fein
Und lädt im Festtagskleide
Zum Maientanze ein.

Waldvöglein Lieder singen,
Wie ihr sie nur begehrt,
Drum auf zum frohen Springen,
Die Reis’ ist Goldes wert!
Hei, unter grünen Linden,
Da leuchten weiße Kleid’!
Heißa, nun hat uns Kinden
Ein End all Wintersleid!
