Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich Für süße Klänge doch? O Mutter, sieh! wer mag es sein, In später Stunde noch? "Ich höre nichts, ich sehe nichts, O schlummre fort so lind! Man bringt dir keine Ständchen mehr, Du armes, krankes Kind!" Es ist nicht irdische Musik, Was mich so freudig macht; Mich rufen Engel mit Gesang, O Mutter, gute Nacht!

What sweet sounds awaken me From my slumbers? Oh mother, go see! Who might it be At such a late hour yet? "I don't hear anything, I don't see anything, Oh, keep on slumbering so gently! No one is coming to serenade you anymore, You poor sick child!" It is not earthly music That fills me with such joy. The angels are calling me with song; Oh mother, good night!
