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 Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 - 1781)

Ohne Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT
Ohne Liebe 
Lebe, wer da kann;
Wenn er auch ein Mensch schon bliebe,
Bleibt er doch kein Mann.

Süße Liebe
Mach' mein Lebensüß,
Stille ein die regen Triebe
Sonder Hindernis!

Schmachten lassen
Sei der Schönen Pflicht;
Nur uns ewig schmachten lassen,
Dieses sei sie nicht!
