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

O Liebe, die mein Herz erfüllet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
O Liebe, die mein Herz erfüllet,
Wie wonnevoll ist deine Seligkeit,
Doch ach, wie grausam peinigend durchwühlet
Mich Hoffnungslosigkeit. 

Er liebt mich nicht, er liebt mich nicht, verloren
Ist ohne ihn des Lebens süße Lust,
Ich bin zu bittern Leiden nur geboren,
Nur Schmerz drückt meine Brust.

Doch nein, [bey Gott, ich will nicht ferner]1 klagen,
Zu sehen ihn, gönnt mir das Schicksal noch,
Darf ich ihm auch nicht meine Liebe sagen,
Gnügt mir sein Anblick doch.

Sein Bild ist Trost in meinem stillen Kummer,
Hier hab' ich's mir zur Wonne aufgestellt,
Dieß soll mich laben, bis daß ew'ger Schlummer
Mein mattes Herz befällt.
