2. Mutter, o sing' mich zur Ruh  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Mutter, o sing]1 mich zur Ruh
Wie noch in schöneren Stunden,
Sing meinem Herzen, dem wunden,
Tröstende Lieder sing du!

Drücke die Augen mir zu!
Blumen die Häupter jetzt neigen;
Trauernde rasten und schweigen,
Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh!

Bette dein Vögelchen du!
Stürme, ach! haben's entfiedert;
Liebe, sie drückt unerwiedert;
Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh!

3. Es lächelt der See  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es lächelt der See, er ladet zum Bade,
Der Knabe [schlief ein am]1 grünen Gestade,
  Da hört er ein Klingen, 
  Wie Flöten so süß,
  Wie Stimmen der Engel
  Im Paradies.

Und wie er erwachet in seliger Lust,
Da [spielen]2 die Wasser ihm um die Brust,
  Und es ruft aus den Tiefen:
  Lieb' Knabe, bist mein!
  Ich locke den Schläfer, 
  Ich zieh ihn [herein]3.

Text Authorship:

  • by Friedrich von Schiller (1759 - 1805), no title, appears in Wilhelm Tell, Act I, Scene 1, Fischerknabe (singt im Kahn: Melodie des Kuhreihens)
