Schlummerlied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Greith)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kindlein auf dem Arme,
schmiege dich ans warme,
sel'ge Mutterherz!

Du mein Quell der Freuden,
kennst noch keine Leiden,
kennst noch keinen Schmerz!

Unbewusst vertrauend,
In den Himmel schauend,
schläfst in süßer Ruh'.

Vater auch ein Kindlein
schlief und lag in Windlein
einst so klein wie du.

Und in seinen Blicken
find' ich mein Entzücken,
und in dir sein Bild.

Kindlein auf dem Arme,
schmiege dich ans warme,
sel'ge Mutterherz!
