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

possibly by Paul Klee (1879 - 1940)

Einst dem Grau der Nacht enttaucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einst dem Grau der Nacht enttaucht
Dann schwer und teuer
und stark vom Feuer
Abends voll von Gott und gebeugt
Nun ätherlings vom Blau umschauert,
entschwebt
über Firnen,
zu klugen Gestirnen.

About the headline (FAQ)

Note: the words above appear on Paul Klee's painting "Einst dem Grau der Nacht enttaucht" (1918, Watercolor, ink and pencil on paper on cardboard, 22.6 x 15.8 cm; number 17 of a series) and seem to have the title "Bahn". It is not known for certain that Paul Klee wrote them.
