Du, trüber Nebel, hüllest mir Das Tal mit seinem Fluß, Den Berg mit seinem Waldrevier, Und jeden Sonnengruß. Nimm fort in deine graue Nacht Die Erde weit und breit! Nimm fort, was mich so traurig macht, Auch die Vergangenheit.

3. Schliesse mir die Augen beide
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schließe mir 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 Welle schlafen leget, wie der letzte Schlag sich reget, füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

Weil' auf mir, du dunkles Auge, Übe deine ganze Macht, Ernste, milde, träumerische, Unergründlich süße Nacht! Nimm mit deinem Zauberdunkel Diese Welt von hinnen mir, Daß du über meinem Leben Einsam schwebest für und für.
