2. 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. Matten Has'  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Plattdeutsch 
Lütt Matten de Has'
De mak sik en Spaß,
He weer bi't Studeern
Dat Danzen to lehrn,
Un danz ganz alleen
Op de achtersten Been.
 
Keem Reinke de Voss
Un dach: das en Kost!
Un seggt: Lüttje Matten,
So flink oppe Padden?
Un danzst hier alleen
Oppe achtersten Been?
 
Kumm, lat uns tosam!
Ik kann as de Dam!
De Krei de spęlt Fitel,
Denn geit dat canditel,
Denn geit dat mal schön
Op de achtersten Been!
 
Lütt Matten gev Pot.
De Voss beet em dot
Un sett sik in Schatten,
Verspis' de lütt Matten:
De Krei de kreeg een
Vun de achtersten Been.

4. Meeresstrand  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ans Haff nun fliegt die Möwe,
Und Dämmerung bricht herein;
Über die feuchten Watten
Spiegelt der Abendschein.

Graues Geflügel huschet
Neben dem Wasser her;
Wie Träume liegen die Inseln
Im Nebel auf dem Meer.

Ich höre des gärenden Schlammes
Geheimnisvollen Ton,
Einsames Vogelrufen -
So war es immer schon.

Noch einmal schauert leise
Und schweiget dann der Wind;
Vernehmlich werden die Stimmen,
Die über der Tiefe sind.
