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

Vier Lieder

Song Cycle by Pauline von Erdmannsdörfer-Fichtner, née Oprawill (1847 - 1916)

1. Dein Bildnis wunderselig   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dein Bildnis wunderselig
Hab ich im Herzensgrund,
Das sieht so [frisch]1 und fröhlich
Mich an zu jeder Stund'.

Mein Herz still in sich singet
Ein altes schönes Lied,
Das [in die Luft sich schwinget]2
Und [zu dir eilig]3 zieht.

2. Was mich zu dir so mächtig zog  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was mich zu dir so [heftig]1 zog
War nicht der Augen Allgewalt,
Der Schimmer nicht des goldnen Haar's
Und nicht die schlanke Huldgestalt.

Was mich zu dir so mächtig zog,
War deiner Stimme trüber Klang,
Der mir wie Nachtigallensang
Ins Herz, ins lebensmüde, drang.

Die Blässe deiner Wangen war's
Und [deine]2 Träne, die verriet,
Dass deine Seele tiefgeheim
Ein namenloses Weh durchzieht.

3. Im tiefsten Innern   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im tiefsten Innern
Ein süß Erinnern
Und einen Gruß
Zum Tagesschluß.

Daß Gottes Güte
Mein Glück behüte
Daß seine Treu'
Stets mit dir sei;

Daß deine Seele
Sich mir vermähle
Auf ewiglich:
Das bete ich.

Auf ihn nur [zähl']1 ich,
Uns Beid' empfehl' ich
Fromm seiner Macht --
Nun, gute Nacht!
