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

Die zu späte Ankunft der Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT ITA
Beschattet von blühenden Ästen,
Gekühlet von spielenden Westen,
Lag Rosilis am Bache hier
Und Hylas neben ihr.

Sie sangen sich scherzende Lieder,
Sie warf ihn mit Blumen, er wieder;
Sie neckte ihn, er neckte sie,
Wer weiss wie lang’ und wie.

Von Lenz und von Liebe gerühret,
Ward Hylas zum Küssen verführet.
Er küßte sie, er drückte sie,
Daß sie um Hilfe schrie.

Die Mutter kam eilend und fragte,
Was Hylas für Frevel hier wagte?
Die Tochter rief: es ist geschehn,
Ihr könnt nun wieder gehn.
