Schließe mir die Augen beide
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.

Ferme‑moi les deux yeux
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ferme-moi les deux yeux De tes chères mains; Ainsi tout ce dont je souffre Sous tes mains se calmera. Et doucement la douleur, Onde après onde, s'endormira, Quand son dernier coup se fera sentir, Tu empliras tout mon cœur.
