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 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.
