Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf,
am Himmel steht ein Schaf,
das Schaf, das ist aus Wasserdampf
und kämpft wie du den Lebenskampf.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf,
die Sonne frißt das Schaf,
sie leckt es weg vom blauen Grund
mit langer Zunge, wie ein Hund.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf.
Nun ist es fort, das Schaf.
Es kommt der Mond und schilt sein Weib;
die läuft ihm weg, das Schaf im Leib.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf.
