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

Gute Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Nebel steigt am Wiesenborn,
ein Duft geht durch den Hain,
am Himmel glänzt des Mondes Horn
so golden und so rein!
Die Wachtel lockt in Schilf und Dorn
zum Nest die Kinderlein,
Traumengel wandelt durch das Korn -
schlaf, süßes Lieb, schlaf ein!

In leisen Wellen reget sich
das dunkle Meer der Nacht,
es hat der Welt so minniglich
Christ selbst im Himmel Acht.
Drum ist sie still und feierlich,
Liebe nur rastlos wacht
und denkt an dich -
Feinsliebchen, gute Nacht!
