by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Herbstlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nun die Mutter schlafen will,
Werden auch die Kindlein still;
All' die Vöglein groß und klein
Huschen schweigend durch den Hain.

Frosch und Grille sind verstummt,
Nicht ein einzig Bienchen summt;
Selbst das Bächlein rieselt nur 
Heimlich durch die Wiesenflur.

Und damit die Mutter nicht 
Blenden soll das helle Licht,
Wogt und wallt als leichter Flor
Nebel aus dem Tal empor.

Wie sie nun im Traum gewiegt
Schlummernd vor den Kindern liegt,
Deckt der Baum zu sanfter Ruh'
Sie mit goldnem Laube zu.
