1. Schliesse mir die Augen beide [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

[Schließe mir]¹ die Augen beide
mit den lieben Händen zu;
geht doch alles, was ich leide,
unter deiner Hand zur Ruh.
Und wie leise sich der Schmerz
Well' [um]² Welle schlafen [leget]³,
[wie]⁴ der letzte Schlag sich [reget]⁵,
füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

3. Schön war's dass ich Dir weihte [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Schön war, das ich dir weihte,
das goldene Geschmeide,
süß war der Laute Ton,
die ich dir auserlesen;
das Herze, das sie beide
darbrachte, wert gewesen
wär's, zu empfangen einen bessern Lohn.
