Wiegenlied

Set by Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847), "Wiegenlied", 1822 [ voice and piano ] [Sung Text]

Note: this setting is made up of several separate texts.


Schlumm're sanft und milde,
Schliess die Äuglein zu.
Auch der Erd' Gefilde
Sinken nun zur Ruh'.
Nach des Tages Mühen
Freu'n wir uns der Nacht,
Seh'n die Sternlein ziehen
Mit gewohnter Pracht.

Süsse Träume schweben
Sacht in dich hinein,
Holde Englein weben
Bunter Bilder Reih'n,
Und der Mond hoch droben
Blickt vom Himmelszelt.
Gottes Werk zu loben,
Schweiget alle Welt.

Schlafe, bis am Morgen
Tages Glanz dir lacht.
Wenn du ohne Sorgen
Äuglein aufgemacht,
Strahlt die Sonne nieder,
Scheinet hell und klar,
Bringt die Farben wieder
Zu der Menschen Schar.
