 ... 

"Eia popeia,"
Das ist ein altes Lied;
Der Mond hat's oft gehöret,
Ist oft schon worden müd';
Die Bäche und die Quellen,
So wach sie sich auch stellen,
Im Traum nur zieh'n die Wellen:
"Eia popeia,"
Sobald's die Nacht gesungen,
Wird alles, alles müd'.

"Eia popeia,"
Das ist ein altes Lied;
Doch eine singt und singt es
Und wird davon nicht müd'. 
Es schweigt in allen Räumen,
Es blühet in allen Bäumen,
Sie kann nicht schlafen, träumen,
"Eia popeia."
Eh' nicht ihr Kindlein schlummert,
Die Mutter wird nicht müd'.
