by Johann Heinrich Julius Frauenstein (1815 - 1880)

Wie ruht so süß in stiller Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie ruht so süß in stiller Nacht  
Die Flur im Silberlicht,  
von holdem Sternen treu bewacht!   
Mein Auge schlummert nicht. 

Sieh' ,  meine Seele weilt um dich
Und winket froh dir zu,
Und flüstert leise: dein bin ich,
Auf ewig mein bist du. 

Schlaf wohl, bis sanft der Morgen winkt
Zu neuer Wonne dir,
Und bis die Nacht ins Grab hinsinkt,
Träum' süß  --  doch nur von mir.
