Neue Weisen zur Laute, 4. Heft

by Hans Schmid-Kayser (1874 - 1964)

7. Und was seh ich denn da oben  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und was seh ich denn da oben im Himmel 
in einem großem blauen Saal?  
O viele viele weiße Englein. 
Ja und was machen die denn da?  

Die einen putzen den Mond blank, 
die andern putzen die Sternlein, 
daß sie heut nacht schön blinkblank 
in mei'm Kindle sein' Traum schein'.  

Text Authorship:

  • by Emil Alfred Herrmann (1871 - 1957), "Wiegenlied"
