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 Gottlieb von Leon (1757 - 1830)

Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Solang, ach! schon solang erfüllt
Ein Bild, ein liebes Engelsbild,
So hold, so sanft, so schön, so zart,
Dies Herz, das immer hofft und harrt.

Oft strebt es auf in stiller Nacht,
Oft hätt' es mich fast umgebracht;
Es liebt so treu, es liebt so rein
Und soll umsonst so zärtlich sein!

Es kämpft und ringt in sich so sehr:
Es stürmt und tobt, wie's wilde Meer;
Nur Linderung, nur Trost, nur Ruh,
Ach! niemand bringt ihm Hilfe zu.

Getrost! du liebeskrankes Herz!
Getrost! bald endigt sich dein Schmerz,
Bald schickt der Himmel Ruh herab
Und schließt dich ein ins kühle Grab.
