by (Stephanie) Hélène Swarth (1859 - 1941)

Al wat mijn liefje doet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Al wat mijn liefje doet
Luidt als een liedje zoet
- Slaap, kindje, slaap! -
Over de marmertrap
Zingen zijn stapjes rap
Zingen van trappeltrap.
- Slaap, kindje, slaap! -
 
Maar als mijn knaapje rust,
Vredig in slaap gekust,
- Droom, kindje, droom! -
Vedelt een melodie,
Zingt er ik weet niet wie,
Ziel die 'k in nevel zie.
- Droom, kindje, droom! -

Woelt zich mijn blondje bloot,
Bloeit er zijn mondje rood,
- Slaap, kindje, slaap! -
Engelen komen zacht,
Zingen van zomernacht,
Zoo dat mijn droomer lacht.
- Slaap, kindje, slaap! -

Zilver in zilvermaan,
Zingend de wilgen staan,
- Droom, kindje, droom! -
't Ruischende molenrad
Sprankelt de rozen nat,
De aarde is in droomenbad.
- Droom, kindje, droom!
