Alles still in süßer Ruh, Drum, mein Kind, so schlaf auch du! Draußen säuselt nur der Wind: Su, susu! schlaf ein, mein Kind! [Schließ du]1 deine Äugelein, Laß sie wie zwei Knospen sein! Morgen, wenn die Sonn' erglüht, Sind sie wie die Blum' erblüht. Und die Blümlein schau' ich an, Und die Äuglein küss' ich dann, Und der Mutter Herz vergißt, Daß es draußen Frühling ist.

View original text (without footnotes)Confirmed with Kinderlieder von Hoffmann von Fallersleben. Erste vollständige Ausgabe besorgt durch Dr. Lionel von Donop, Zweite Auflage, Berlin, G. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1878, pages 26-27.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Äugelein" becomes "Aeugelein", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Äugelein".

Alles stil, in zoete rust, Dus, mijn kind, slaap ook gerust, Buiten suizelt slechts de wind, Suja su, slaap in, mijn kind. Doe maar dicht je oogjes klein, Laat ze als twee knopjes zijn, Morgen als de zon weer gloeit, Zijn z’ als bloemen mooi ontbloeid1. Naar die bloemen kijk ik dan, En die oogjes kus ik dan, En het moederhart vergeet: Buiten straalt het lentekleed.
