by (Theodor) Franz Johann August Hermann Engel (1834 - 1920)

Nun fallen die Augen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

Nun fallen die Augen 
  Müde mir zu,
Komm, Engel des Schlummers, 
  Hüte die Ruh';
Komm', halte am Bette 
  Freundliche Wacht,
Und kosige Träume 
  Webe, o Nacht;
Und schlürfe, was nimmer,
  Seele, wohl du
Geathmet im Lichte:
  Friede und Ruh'!
