Ständchen
 (Sung text for setting by T. Elze)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
In dem Himmel ruht die Erde,
Mond und Sterne halten Wacht,
Auf der Erd' ein kleiner Garten
Schlummert in der Blumen Pracht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Garten steht ein Häuschen,
Still von Linden überdacht;
Vor dem kleinen Erkerfenster
Hält ein Vogel singend Wacht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Erker schläft ein Mädchen,
Träumet von der Blumenpracht;
Ihr im Herzen ruht der Himmel,
D'rin die Engel halten Wacht.
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

Note: Lang's manuscript ends with "Gute Nacht, gute Gut!" - presumably a typo.
