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

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Im Walde die Vöglein schweigen,
Im Garten die Blümlein sich neigen,
Schlaf ein, mein Kind, schlaf ein!
Das Lüftchen weht sanft und leise,
Die Sternlein zieh'n ihre Kreise,
Schlaf ein, mein Kind, schlaf ein!

Am Bettchen die Mutter sitzet,
Und Gottes Englein Dich schützet,
Schlaf ein, mein Kind, schlaf ein!
Die frommen Äuglein schliesse,
Du träumst vom Paradiese,
Schlaf ein, mein Kind, schlaf ein!
