Frieden der Nacht
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Tag ist längst geschieden. --
Von dem Sternenzelt
Sinkt tiefer, heil'ger Frieden 
Herab auf Haus und Feld.

Auf müde Augen linde
Legt süßen Schlaf die Nacht;
Im Kämmerlein beim Kinde
Hält Gottes Engel Wacht.

Schon hat sein Lied gesungen
Das Kindlein sanft zur Ruh';
Die Saiten sind verklungen,
Nun deckt er's leise zu.
