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

Il dort encore une main sur la lyre !
Language: French (Français) 
Il dort encore une main sur la lyre !
Il ne verrait ni mon triste délire
Ni ces longs pleurs qui tombent de mes yeux.
Charmeur divin, tandis que tu sommeilles.
Autour de toi voltigent les abeilles.
Le doux poëte est l'envoyé des Dieux !
La blanche étoile errante aux cieux t'adore.
Ferme tes yeux ravis, sommeille encore,
Anacréon, chanteur mélodieux.
Tandis que fuit la nuit enchanteresse,
Qu'un rythme heureux te berce et te caresse.
Le doux poëte est l'envoyé des Dieux !
