Wiegenlied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Hohfeld)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Schlafe nur ein,
Bist nicht allein;
Träume von lichtem, von rosigem Schein!
Schließe das Aug';
Sanft wie ein Hauch
Küsst dich die Liebe in Schlummer hinein.

Schlafe, mein Kind!
Ach, so geschwind
Fliehen die Tage, die Jugend entrinnt!
Danach, die Zeit
Ist wohl nicht weit,
Hält dich kein Arm mehr so zart und so lind!

Schlafe nur ein,
Bist nicht allein;
Träume von lichtem, von rosigem Schein!
Äuglein mach zu,
Schlafe in Ruh';
Liebe, sie hütet und wieget dich ein!

    Set to music by Carl Hohfeld (flourished 1884-1895), "Wiegenlied", published 1889 [ voice and piano ], from Lieder und Gesänge, no. 7, Mainz: Kittlitz-Schott
