by Georg Nicolaus Bärmann (1785 - 1850)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schützling der Liebe, schlaf' ein!
Vatersorg', Mutterglück
Schirmen mit Liebesblick.
[Gottholdchen]1 mein!
Schützling der Liebe, schlaf' ein!

Freude des Vaters, schlaf' ein!
Schlafe, bis neu erwacht
Wieder dein Blick mir lacht.
[Gottholdchen]1 mein!
Freude des Vaters, schlaf' ein!

Wonne der Mutter, schlaf' ein!
Nur an der Segensbrust
Sey deines Seyns bewußt.
Schuldlos und rein
Lächle [mein Kind]2 und schlaf' ein!

Segen der Eltern, schlaf ein!
Rings um [die Wege]3 her
Glänzt wie ein [Sonnenmeer]4
Heiligenschein.
Segen der Eltern, schlaf' ein!

Schützling des Mittlers, schlaf' ein!
Kindlich sind Alle gleich,
Engel im Himmelreich
Heilig und rein -
Schützling des Mittlers, schlaf' ein!
