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

Liedchen ohne R
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Veilchen wollte stille blühen,
Und bat um Himmelstau;
Und jedes Blatt fing an zu glühen
In schönem dunkelm Blau.

Es blieb entzogen vielen Blicken,
Ihm ist so wohl, so gut;
Doch kam ein Mädchen, es zu pflücken
Und steckt' es auf den Hut.

"O hättest du mich leben lassen!",
So seufzt' das Veilchen tief,
"Du bist zu schön, um dich zu hassen!",
So seufzt' es und entschlief.
