Ihr blauen Augen, gute Nacht!
Schließt euch zu holden Träumen,
Auf dass ihr hell und frisch erwacht,
Wenn golden sich die Wolken säumen;
Ihr blauen Augen, gute Nacht!

Ihr roten Lippen, gute Nacht!
Wenn Sterne sich am Himmel zeigen,
Schließt ja den Kelch der rose Pracht;
So schließt auch euch zu holdem Schweigen,
Ihr roten Lippen gute Nacht!

Du holdes Antlitz, gute Nacht!
Wer würde Tagesglanz vermissen,
Wenn hell noch deine Schönheit wacht;
Drum birg dich tief im weichen Kissen ,
Du holdes Antlitz, gute Nacht!
