Nun schweben Dach und Decke
Zum Sternendom hinauf;
Nun schwingt der kleine Håkon
Ins Träumerreich sich auf.

Es raget eine Leiter
Von Erden himmelan;
Die steigt der kleine Håkon
Mit Engeln nun hinan.

Das Wiegenkindlein hüten
Die Engel Gottes sacht;
Gott schütz' dich, kleiner Håkon, --
Auch deine Mutter wacht.

    Set to music  by Grete von Zieritz (1899 - 2001), "Wiegenlied", op. 2 (1915) [ voice and piano ]
