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 Johann Friedrich Kind (1768 - 1843)

Lied aus Friedrich Kinds Erzählung Der Engel und die Schäferin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weine nicht! Weine nicht,
Du mein süßes Leben!
Laß dein Aug' zu jenem Licht
Ungetrübt sich heben!

Schau empor, schau empor
Durch die Nebelhüllen,
Dorthin, wo den Sternenchor
Engel Gottes füllen.

Freundlich lacht durch die Nacht
Mondenlicht am Himmel,
Feiernd ruht bei Sternenpracht
Irdisches Gewimmel.

Rein're Lust hebt die Brust
Über Erdenleiden.
Ihrer Abkunft sich bewußt,
Will die Seele scheiden.
