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.

2. Im Zimmer  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Herbstsonnenschein.
Der liebe Abend blickt so still herein.
Ein Feuerlein rot
Knistert im Ofenloch und loht.
So, mein Kopf auf deinen Knie'n,
So ist mir gut.
Wenn mein Auge so in deinem ruht,
Wie leise die Minuten zieh'n.

3. Die Hütte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Aus einem dunklen Forste drängt sich ein Hüttlein klein,
auf seinen glühenden Fenstern zuckt sterbend der Abendschein.
Auf seiner Schwelle träumet ein junges Menschenpaar.
Ihr Haupt ruht an seiner Schulter, seine Lippe streift ihr Haar!
Aus finsterem Waldesschweigen tritt sacht die Nacht heraus,
da schreiten eng umschlungen die Beiden in ihr Haus.
Ein Lichtlein ist drin erglommen, doch hat's nicht lang gewacht,
um die stumme dunkle Hütte kreist sternenhell die Nacht.
