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

A churchyard by a roadside bend
Language: English 
A churchyard by a roadside bend, 
  Forgotten and unkept, 
Bestrewn with gravestones, end to end, 
  Where stricken hearts have wept. 

The scarlet of the gallant dead 
  Though hid beneath the turf, 
Is born again in poppies red 
  That nod towards the surf. 

O little silent waiting place 
  That looks towards the sea, 
Within your crowded little space, 
  Lies all that's dear to me.
