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.

Well' [um]2 Welle schlafen [leget]3,
[wie]4 der letzte Schlag sich [reget]5,
füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

4. Über dem Busche der Rose  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über dem Busch der Rose
Wölbt sich das Sternendach,
Hinter dem Busch der Rose
Ist die Liebe noch wach.

Wartet ihr Knospen am Zweige,
Bis es Zeit ist zu blühn, --
Junge Liebe, du schweige,
Bis es Zeit ist zu glühn!

Doch sie küssen und kosen --
Und in selbiger Nacht
Brachen alle die Rosen
Auf in duftiger Pracht.
