Schlummerlied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Hiller)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es ruht die Welt in Abendduft,
Die Sonne schläft, es hebt die Luft,
Die Blüthen spielen im Abendwind.
Schlaf ein, schlaf ein, mein süsses Kind.

Die Wellen murmeln im blauen See,
Sanft träumt im Schilfe die holde Fee,
Die Wipfel 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!
