possibly by Karl Weigl (1881 - 1949)

Language: English 
Her little feet are tired now
From dancing thru the day,
Her voice is still, her hands at rest
From too much play . . .
Her books and toys are tossed about
For me to keep,
The lov'liest thing in all the world,
My little girl . . . . asleep!

Composition:

    Set to music by Karl Weigl (1881 - 1949), "Child asleep", alternate title: "To baby Christine (Idyl)", 1941 [ mezzo-soprano or baritone and piano ]
