5. Schlaf Kindchen schlaf, draussen steht ein Schaf  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf!    
[Da draußen ist]1 ein Schaf;
Das ist dir gar ein frommes Blut,
Das keinem was zu Leide thut;
Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 

Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf!
Wie freundlich ist das Schaf! 
Es knurrt, es lärmt, es zanket nicht,
Zeigt immerdar ein froh Gesicht;
Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 

Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 
Wie still ist unser Schaf! 
Nie weinen seine Äugelein; 
Nie hört man es gewaltig schrein! 
Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 

Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 
Wer liebt nicht unser Schaf! 
Es speis't vergnügt das grüne Gras;
Zu Leide thut ihm keiner was; 
Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 

Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf! 
Sei sanft, wie unser Schaf;
Sei immerdar ein frohes Blut, 
So sind dir alle Menschen gut;
Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf!
