Available translation(s): ENG
In meinen Armen dein
Liebewarmer Leib -- o du!
Thu' jetzt die großen Augen zu!
Augen, Seele, alles mein.
Schlaf! die Ampel löscht aus.
Mondlicht im ganzen Haus.
Weißt du, wie blau die Treppe war,
Als wir kamen? Auch dein Haar
Ist blau. So rinnt
Und fließt das aufgelöste Verlangen;
Wir sind
Ineinander aufgegangen.

In my arms your
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
In my arms your
Love-warmed body -- oh you!
Close now your great eyes!
Eyes, soul, all is mine.
Sleep! extinguish the lamp.
Moonlight in the whole house.
Do you remember how blue the staircase was
When we came? Your hair, too,
Is blue. Thus slips
And flows the released yearning;
We have
Been absorbed into each other.
