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 Georg, Edler von Hoffmann (1771 - 1845)

Romanze
Language: German (Deutsch)

Was belebt die schöne Welt?
Liebe nur verschafft ihr Leben,
Nur der Liebe Strahlen geben
Helles Licht dem Schattenfeld.

Klagend trauert die Natur,
Fühlt sie nicht der Liebe Wonne,
Liebe ist der Welten Sonne,
Sie erquicket Hain und Flur.

Angelacht von ihrem Blick,
Jubeln Erde, Luft und Meere -
Holde Liebe, dir sei Ehre,
Spendest ewig Lebensglück.
