by Franz Ludwig Evarist Alexander, Graf von Pocci (1807 - 1876)

Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kindlein auf dem Arme,
schmiege dich ans warme,
sel'ge Mutterherz!

Du mein Quell der Freuden,
kennst noch keine Leiden,
kennst noch keinen Schmerz!

[In den Himmel schauend,
unbewusst vertrauend]1,
[schlaf]2 in süßer Ruh'.

Vater auch ein Kindlein
[war]3 und lag in Windlein
einst so klein wie du.

Und in seinen Blicken
find' ich mein Entzücken,
und in dir sein Bild.

Kindlein auf dem Arme,
schmiege dich ans warme,
sel'ge Mutterherz!
