1. With your blue eyes
Language: English 
With your blue eyes
You look at me lovingly,
Then my senses grow so dreamy
That I cannot speak.

Of your blue eyes
I am reminded everywhere:
A sea of blue thoughts
Pours forth over my heart.

2. Ja, mein gar zu dunkles Leben  [sung text not yet checked]
by Ludwig Ebert (1834 - 1908), "Ja, mein gar zu dunkles Leben", op. 14 (Drei Lieder von H. Heine) no. 3 [ high voice and piano ], unpublished
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In mein gar zu dunkles Leben
Strahlte einst ein süßes Bild;
Nun das süße Bild erblichen,
Bin ich gänzlich nachtumhüllt.

Wenn die Kinder sind im Dunkeln,
[Wird]1 beklommen ihr Gemüth,
Und um ihre Angst zu bannen,
Singen sie ein lautes Lied.

Ich, ein tolles Kind, ich singe
Jetzo in der Dunkelheit;
[Ist]2 das Lied auch nicht ergötzlich,
Hat's mich doch von Angst befreit.
