Schlummerlied
 (Sung text for setting by H. Zilcher)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zur Ruhe, mein Herz, zur Ruh',
Schliess deine Augen zu,
Sind schon so müd' und rot und heiss
Von Thränen, die doch keiner weiss
Als ich, mein Herz, und du --
Schliess deine Augen zu.
 
Schlafe, mein Herz, schlaf ein --
Siehst du den silbernen Schein,
Siehst du den großen, stillen Stern?
Er hat die müden Herzen so gern,
Schlafe, mein Herz, schlaf ein
In seinem silbernen Schein.
 
Stille, mein Herz, sei still,
Hör, was ich singen will --
Ich weiss einen Schatz so wunderschön,
Den wollen wir beide suchen gehn --
Stille, mein Herz, sei still,
Hör, was ich singen will.
 
Sei nun ganz lieb und brav,
Scheuche nicht unsern Schlaf,
Wird dann zu ander'n Herzen gehn,
Lässt uns in unser'm Kummer stehn --
Darum sei lieb und brav,
Scheuche nicht unsern Schlaf.
