Schlummerlied an mein Herz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Schlaf ein, mein Herz, schlaf ein
Und laß dein Klopfen sein!
Das wachen [sic] thut dir nimmer noth,
Es scheint für dich kein Morgenroth!
Dein Hoffen ist vorbeÿ!
Eÿa! Mein Herz!
Eÿa, mein Herz popaÿ!

An Träumen warst du überreich!
Drum schlafe nun auch still und weich!
Bis einst der Wächterruf erklingt,
Der laut in aller Herzen dringt!
Vertauscht mit seel'ger Himmels Lust!
Die enge, kalte Menschenbrust!
Eÿa! Mein Herz!
Eÿa, mein Herz popaÿ!
