by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Auf! ihr lieben Engelein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Auf! ihr lieben Engelein!
Fliegt zu meinem Kinde! 
Schon erlischt der Abendschein, 
Kommt, o kommt geschwinde! 
  Was ihr für das Erdenthal
Habt zur besten Labe, 
Bringet aus dem Sternensaal 
Freundlich ihm zur Gabe! 

  Vöglein schlafen, groß und klein,
Kühler wehn die Winde: 
Kommt, und schließt die Äugelein 
Ihm auch sanft und linde! 
  Und wie schimmernd nun am Baum,
Sieh! die Zweige schwanken: 
Webt hinein ihm in den Traum 
Himmlische Gedanken!
