Komm, süßer Schlaf, du Trost der Nacht, Schließ sanft mein Auge zu! Ich hab' vergangner Zeit gedacht, Mein Herz verlangt nach Ruh. Einst stilltest du nach Kuß und Scherz Verborg'ner Liebe Glück, Und lehntest an sein warmes Herz Mein selig Haupt zurück. Nun ist er längst zu Grab gebracht Und Lieb' und Glück dazu. Komm, süßer Schlaf, du Trost der Nacht! Mein Herz verlangt nach Ruh.

Come, sweet sleep, you solace of night! Gently close my eyes! I have been thinking of past times, My heart yearns for rest. Once, after kisses and jests, you assuaged The joys of hidden love, And leaned back upon his warm heart My bliss-filled head. Now he has long been laid in his grave And love and happiness with him. Come, sweet sleep, you solace of night! My heart yearns for rest.
