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

Liane
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
»Hast du Lianen nicht [geseh'n]1?«
»Ich sah sie zu dem Teiche geh'n.«
Durch Busch und [Hecken]2 rennt er fort,
Und kommt [zu ihrem]3 Lieblingsort.

Die Linde spannt ihr grünes Netz,
Aus Rosen tönt des Bachs Geschwätz;
Die Blätter röthet Sonnengold,
Und Alles ist der Freude hold.

Liane fährt auf einem Kahn,
Vertraute Schwäne nebenan.
Sie spielt die Laute, singt ein Lied,
Wie Liebe in ihr selig blüht.

Das Schifflein schwanket, wie es will.
Sie senkt das Haupt, und denket still
[Nur]4 ihn - der im Gebüsche ist,
Sie bald in seine Arme schließt.
