Bienchen, Bienchen,
Wiegt sich im Sonnenschein,
Spielt um mein Kindelein,
Summt dich in Schlummer ein,
Süßes Gesicht.

Spinnchen, Spinnchen,
Flimmert im Sonnenschein,
Schlummre, mein Kindelein,
Spinnt dich in Träume ein,
Rühre dich nicht!

Tief-Edelinchen
Schlüpft aus dem Sonnenschein,
Träume, mein Kindelein,
Haucht dir ein Seelchen ein:
Liebe zum Licht.
