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

Will you be mine?
Language: English 
Our translations:  FRE
There eyes, where laughing loves recline,
There lips that just divided pout,
To let the fluttering kisses out,
Like birds from love's own shrine.
To pain or please you gave me these
But still I ask, "Will you be mine?"

These glances that so ardent shine,
These words that come with reckless rout
And rush of passion thronging out
Sweet vows at love's own shrine.
To pain or please you gave me these,
But still I ask, "Will you be mine?"

In weal or woe, in love's eternal bond
In life and death, and all that lies beyond
Will you be mine?
