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 Viktor Rydberg (1828 - 1895)

På verandan vid hafvet
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  ENG FIN FRE
Minns du de skimrande böljornas suck, att vid målet de hunnit 
endast en jordisk kust, icke det evigas strand?
Minns du ett vemodsken från himlens ovanskliga stjärnor?
Ack, åt förgängelsens lott skatta de äfven till slut.
Minns du en tystnad, då allt var som sänkt i oändlighetsträngtan, 
stränder och himmel och hav, allt som i aning om Gud?

Confirmed with Viktor Rydberg, Dikter, Atlantis, Stockholm, 1996, page 135.
