Månen hänger i trädets gren, stänker fint silfver på trappans sten. Sof, sof, hjärtebarn... Nyss dog det sista sjungande sus, vind hvilar trött öfver marker och hus. Sof, sof, hjärtebarn... Doft vaggar bruset från mörker fylld ström, glider och glider och blir till en dröm. Sof, sof, hjärtebarn... Månen hänger i trädets gren, väfver sig örngott af silfversken. Sof, sof, hjärtebarn... Sof, sof.
