Schlafe, Liebchen, weil's auf Erden Nun so still und seltsam wird! Oben gehn die goldnen Herden, Für uns alle wacht der Hirt. ... Schlingend sich an Bäum' und Zweigen In Dein stilles Kämmerlein, Wie auf goldnen Leitern, steigen Diese Töne aus und ein. ... Und der Töne Klang entführet Weit der buhlerische Wind, Und durch Schloß und Wand ihn spüret Träumend wohl das süsse Kind.

Dorm, amor meu, mentre a la terra ara tot esdevé tranquil i insòlit! Allà dalt caminen les daurades ramades, el pastor té cura de tots nosaltres. ... Entrellaçant-se a arbres i branques, dins la teva tranquil·la cambra, pugen, com per escales daurades, aquests sons, dins i fora. ... Ai, seduït per el dolç so, lluny, el vent amorós, i a través de panys i parets el perceben, somiant, tots els formosos infants.
