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

Mutter, tote Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Mein Auge schließ mit deinem Kusse zu,
Dein müdes Kind, o bett' es sanft zur Ruh.
Es ist umhergeirrt allein, allein,
Hüll' es, wie einst, in deine Liebe ein.

Rings schläft die Welt! Und um mich raunt die Zeit
Den dunkeln Rätselsang der Ewigkeit.
Mich bergen wieder heilger Kindheit Räume,
Ein Antlitz lächelt mild, lächelt in meine Träume:
Mutter!
