by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Der Frieden ruht auf Berg und Thal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Frieden ruht auf Berg und Thal,
Die Welt will schlafen allzumal.
Ein Sternlein blickt zum Fenster 'nein,
Und fragt: schläft Kindlein noch nicht ein?

„Mein Kind ist gut und folget gern,
Das weißt du ja, mein lieber Stern!“ --
So wünsch' ich ihm denn gute Nacht,
Schlaf wohl, lieb Kind! dein Sternlein wacht.
