by Margarethe Pilgram-Diehl (1817 - 1870)

Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es ruht die Welt in Abendduft,
Die Sonne schläft, es schweigt die Luft,
Die Blüthen nicht spielen im Abendwind.
Schlaf ein, schlaf ein, mein süsses Kind.

Die Wellen nicht murmeln im blauen See,
Sanft träumt im Schilfe die holde Fee,
Die Wipfel nicht rauschen im Abendschein,
Mein süsses Kind, schlaf ein!

Die Blume schläft, doch haucht sie Duft
In die still verschwieg'ne Abendluft.
Es ruht das Herz, doch denkt es dein!
Mein süsses Kind, schlaf ein!

In sich versunken träumt der Hain, 
Des Nordens Stern bestrahlt ihn rein; 
Still ist die Freude, still der Schmerz, 
Fort pulst des Schöpfers großes Herz!
