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

4. Rheinlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie glüht er im Glase!  
Wie flammt er so hold!  
Geschliffnem Topase 
Vergleich' ich sein Gold. 
Und Düfte entschweben 
Ihm blumig und fein. 
Gott schütze die Reben 
Am sonnigen Rhein!  

Durchbraust uns sein Feuer, 
So schmilzt unser Sinn 
Für Euch nur getreuer, 
Ihr Mädlein, dahin! 
Wir schwärmen von Rosen, 
Von Minnen und Frei'n. 
Gott schütze die Rosen 
Am sonnigen Rhein!  

Ob oft auch der Tropfen 
Den Trinker bezwingt, 
Herz-Drücken und Klopfen 
Die Schönheit uns bringt  --  
Wir wollen's vergeben, 
Vergessen, verzeih'n 
Den Rosen und Reben 
Am sonnigen Rhein!
