Kinderlieder für 2 Soprane mit Pianoforte, op. 25

by Vinzenz Lachner (1811 - 1893)

1. Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf
 (Sung text)

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

  Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Am Himmel geh'n die Schaf',
Die Sternlein sind die Lämmerlein,
Der Mond der ist das Schäferlein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

 ... 

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

2. Wenn die Kinder klein noch sind
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn die Kinder klein noch sind,
reiten sie nicht so geschwind;
wenn sie aber größer werden,
reiten sie auf großen Pferden;
sind sie aber groß gewachsen,
reiten sie hinein nach Sachsen.
Hopp, hopp, hopp ...

3. Das Kind ruht aus
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Kind ruht aus vom Spielen,
Am Fenster rauscht die Nacht,
Die Engel Gottes 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.

Wacker, Mägdlein, bin ich ja,
