by (Karl) Wilhelm Osterwald (1820 - 1887)

Der Mond ist schlafen gangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Mond ist schlafen gangen,
Die Sterne blinzeln blind,
Als ob sie müde sind
Von [allem]1 Funkeln und Prangen.

Und vor dem Fenster leise
Säuselt so lieb und lind
Ein frischer Frühlingswind;
Ich wünsch ihm gute Reise.

Und hörst du's sachte pochen:
"Gute Nacht, gute Nacht, mein Kind!"
Dich grüßt der Frühlingswind,
Er hat es mir versprochen.
