Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich Für süße Klänge doch? O Mutter, sieh! wer mag es sein, In später Stunde noch? "Ich höre nichts, ich sehe nichts, O schlummre fort so lind! Man bringt dir keine Ständchen jetzt, Du armes, krankes Kind!" Es ist nicht irdische Musik, Was mich so freudig macht; Mich rufen Engel mit Gesang, O Mutter, gute Nacht!

Hvad milda toner väcka mig Ur hvilans korta blund? O moder, hvadan komma de I denna sena stund? "Jag varsnar intet. Somna tyst, O, blifve slumren ljuf! Mitt arma, sjuka barn, dig ges Ej serenader nu." Från jorden komma ej de ljud, Som helsa mig så gladt; Nej, det är englaskarans sång, – Min moder, o god natt.
