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 Gabriele von Baumberg (1766 - 1839)

Durch eine ganze Nacht sich nahe seyn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
Durch eine ganze Nacht sich [nahe]1 seyn,
So Hand in Hand, so Arm [im]2 Arme weilen,
So viel empfinden, ohne mitzutheilen -
Ist eine wonnevolle Pein!

So immer Seelenblick im Seelenblick
Auch den geheimsten Wunsch des Herzens sehen,
So wenig sprechen, und sich doch verstehen -
Ist hohes martervolles Glück!

Zum Lohn für die im Zwang [verschwundne]3 Zeit
Dann bey dem [Morgenstral, warm]4, mit Entzücken
[Sich]5 Mund an Mund, und Herz an Herz [sich]6 drücken -
O dieß ist - Engelseligkeit!
