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

Am Steuer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meines Schiffes Steuer führ ich.
Weiß allein, wohin es geht.
Und die schweren Ruder rühr ich
Still und stet.
 
Einsam in die Ferne trag ich 
Meines Willens stolze Wehr
Und nach Land und Leuten frag ich
Längst nicht mehr.
 
Hinter mir im tiefen blauen 
Wasser glitzert eine Spur. 
Mögen Freund und Feinde schauen,
Wo ich fuhr.
