"Schließe mir die Augen beide" is a poem by Theodor Storm from his 1851 collection Sommergeschichten und Lieder (Summer Stories and Songs).[1]

Arnold Schönberg

It was twice set to music by

secondary set,[2] in the first movement of the Lyric Suite
for string quartet of 1926.

The text is as follows:

Close both my eyes
with your beloved hands!
Let all my suffering
gain rest beneath your hand.

And as gently the pain
wave upon wave lies in sleep,
As the last blow falls
you fill my whole heart.
