by Wilhelm Raabe (1831 - 1910)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schaukeln und Gaukeln --
Halb wachender Traum!
Schläfst du, mein Kindlein?
Ich weiß es kaum.

Halt zu dein Äuglein,
draußen geht der Wind;
Spiel fort dein Träumlein,
Mein herzliebes Kind!

Draußen geht der Wind,
Reißt die Blätter vom Baum,
Reißt die Blüten vom Zweig --
Spiel fort deinen Traum!

Spiel fort deinen Traum,
Blinzäugelein!
Schaukelnd und gaukelnd
Sitz ich und wein.
