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 sigh
Language: English 
It was nothing but a rose I gave her,
Nothing but a rose.
Any wind might rob it of half its savor,
Any wind that blows.

When she took it from my trembling fingers
With a hand as chill,
Ah, the slying touch  upon them lingers,
Stays, and thrills them still.

Withered, faded, pressed between the pages,	
Crumpled fold on fold,
Once it lay upon her breast, and ages	
Cannot make it old!
