Kinderlieder für 2 Soprane mit Pianoforte

by Vinzenz Lachner (1811 - 1893)

1. Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Schlaf, [Kindlein]1, schlaf!
Der Vater [hüt]2 die Schaf',
Die Mutter schüttelt 's Bäumelein,
Da fällt herab ein Träumelein,
Schlaf, [Kindlein]1, schlaf!

  Schlaf, [Kindlein]1, schlaf!
Am Himmel ziehn die Schaf',
Die Sternlein sind die [Lämmerlein]3,
Der Mond der ist das Schäferlein,
Schlaf, [Kindlein]1, schlaf!

  Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Christkindlein hat ein Schaf,
Ist selbst das liebe Gotteslamm,
Das um uns all' zu Tode kam,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

  Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
So schenk' ich dir ein Schaf,
Mit einer goldnen Schelle fein,
Das soll dein Spielgeselle sein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

  Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Und [blök']4 nicht wie ein Schaf,
Sonst kömmt des Schäfers Hündelein,
Und beißt mein böses Kindelein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

  Schlaf, [Kindlein]1, schlaf!
[Geh fort und hüt' die Schaf]5,
Geh fort, du schwarzes Hündelein,
Und weck' mir nicht mein Kindelein,
Schlaf, [Kindlein]1, schlaf!

3. Das Kind ruht aus  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Kind ruht aus vom Spielen,
Am Fenster rauscht die Nacht,
Die Engel Gott's im Kühlen
Getreulich halten Wacht.

Am Bettlein still sie stehen,
Der Morgen graut noch kaum,
Sie küssen's, eh sie gehen,
Das Kindlein lacht im Traum.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Kindchen ist fein,
Könnt [schöner]1 nicht sein;
Es hat mir versprochen,
Sein Herzchen [g'hör']2 mein.

Und ein [Grübchen]4 im Kin,
O du [herzliebes]5 Kindchen,
Wie gut ich dir bin!
