by Georg Nicolaus Bärmann (1785 - 1850)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schützling der Liebe, schlaf' ein!
Vatersorg', Mutterglück
Schirmen mit Liebesblick.
Gottholdchen mein!
Schützling der Liebe, schlaf' ein!

Freude des Vaters, schlaf' ein!
Schlafe, bis neu erwacht
Wieder dein Blick mir lacht.
Gottholdchen mein!
Freude des Vaters, schlaf' ein!

Wonne der Mutter, schlaf' ein!
Nur an der Segensbrust
Sey deines Seyns bewußt.
Schuldlos und rein
Lächle mein Kind und schlaf' ein!

Segen der Eltern, schlaf ein!
Rings um die Wege her
Glänzt wie ein Sonnenmeer
Heiligenschein.
Segen der Eltern, schlaf' ein!

Schützling des Mittlers, schlaf' ein!
Kindlich sind Alle gleich,
Engel im Himmelreich
Heilig und rein -
Schützling des Mittlers, schlaf' ein!
