by Henriette Eleonore Agnes Gräfin zu Stolberg-Stolberg, née von Witzleben (1761 - 1788), as Psyche

Schlummre, Bübchen, schlummr' im Schooß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlummre, Bübchen, schlummr' im Schooß
Deiner Mutter sorgenlos.
Keine Mücke nahet sich;
Meine Liebe wacht für dich. 

Für uns beide wacht der Herr;
Kind und Mutter schützet Er.
Seine Kinder klein und groß
Liegen all' in seinem Schooß. 

Hier in stiller Nächte Ruh
Sieht er deinem Schlummer zu,
[Und erhöret mein]1 Gebet, 
Das für dich um Segen fleht. 

[Wachse, Bübchen, werde gut; 
Daß dich stärke froher Muth.
Lächle bald, und liebe mich;
Denn so liebt dein Vater dich.]2

1 Reichardt, Wetzel: "Hört mein inniges"
2 Reichardt:
Wachse, Bübchen, liebe mich;
Denn so herzlich lieb' ich dich.
Liebe, Bübchen, liebe mich;
Denn so liebt dein Vater dich. 

Übe Blumen schwebt dein Fuss;
Dich umtönt der Liebe Gruss;
Wie dein blaues Auge hell,
Blinket dir der Freude Quell. 

Wachse, Bübchen, werde gut;
In dir wallt ein edles Blut,
Bist von biederem Geschlecht.
Fürchte Gott, und thue Recht.
