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 Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836)

Über allen Zauber Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Sie hüpfte [vor]1 mir auf grünem Plan,
Und sah die [fahlenden]2 Linden an
Mit trauernden Kindesaugen;
"Die stillen Lauben sind entlaubt,
Die Blumen hat der Herbst geraubt,
Der Herbst will gar nichts taugen.
Ach, du bist ein schönes Ding,
Frühling!3
Ueber allen Zauber Frühling."

Das zierliche Kind, wie's vor mir schwebt!
Aus Lilien und Rosen zart gewebt,
Mit Augen gleich den Sternen; -
"Blüht mir dein holdes Angesicht,
Dann mag, fürwahr ich zage nicht,
Der Mayen sich entfernen.
Färbet nur des Lebens Trübe
Liebe:
Ueber allen Zauber Liebe."
