Öffne die Augen, Tancredi, die Leichenfeier anzusehen, die ich mit Thränen dir bereite! O blick' auf mich, lass' mich mit dir ihn gehen, den langen Pfad, und sterben dir zur Seite. O fliehe nicht so schnell aus meiner Nähe, dies ist das Letzte, was ich von dir erflehe.
Lieder , opus 16

Language: Italian (Italiano)
Apri gli occhi, Tancredi, a queste estreme Esequie meste, ch'io ti fo col pianto; Riguarda me, che vo' venirne insieme La lunga strada, e vo' morirti accanto. Riguarda me; non ten fuggir sì presto: L'ultimo dono, ch'io ti dimando, è questo.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1, So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund, So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund. Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust, Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust; Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! [So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

3. Ruhe der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du bist die Ruh,
Der Friede mild,
Die Sehnsucht du,
Und was sie stillt.
Ich weihe dir
Voll Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung hier
Mein Aug' und Herz.
Kehr' bei mir ein,
Und schließe du
Still hinter dir
Die Pforten zu.
Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust.
Voll sey dies Herz
Voll deiner Lust.

4. Wiegenlied [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Schließ deine Äugelein! Sei ruhig nun und schließ sie zu, Dann hat dein liebes Herz auch Ruh. Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Bald kommt der Sonnenschein, Der wecket auf die Blumen all Und Schmetterling und Nachtigall. Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! O schöner Sonnenschein, So komm doch her, komm her geschwind Und weck' auch auf mein liebes Kind! Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Er blickt durchs Fensterlein, Als wollt' er sagen: seht doch, seht, Wie Alles schön im Garten steht! Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein! Schließ deine Aeugelein! Sei ruhig nun und schließ sie zu, Dann hat dein liebes Herz auch Ruh. Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Äugelein" becomes "Aeugelein", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Äugelein".
