Schlummerlied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kücken)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Steiget hernieder auf gold'ner Spur 
Schweigend der Abend zur blumigen Flur,
Grüßen die Sterne so silbern und klar
Freundlich dein schlafendes Aeugleinpaar;
Schlumm're süß! schlumm're süß!
Es wachen die Engel im Paradies. 

 ... 

Steiget, ihr Elfen der Blumen, empor,
Singet dem Knaben ein Schlummerlied vor!
Steigt aus der Kelche süß duftigem Raum,
Webt ihm lieblich den goldnen Traum:
Schlumm're süß! schlumm're süß!
Es wachen die Engel im Paradies. 

 ... 

Bis dann die Rose sich wieder erschließt,
Jubelnd die Lerche den Morgen begrüßt,
Und bis der Blümelein Frühlingsgesang
Freudig der Sonne entgegen klang:
Schlumm're süß! schlumm're süß!
Es wachen die Engel im Paradies.
