Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonne ging hinab zur Ruh', 
Erde schloß die Augen zu; 
Milder Frieden 
Deckt den Müden 
Mit dem nächt'gen Schleier lind: 
Schlummre sanft, mein trautes Kind!  

Lüftlein schläft am Blumenmund, 
Fischlein ruht auf kühlem Grund, 
Und der Quelle 
Silberwelle 
Träumend durch die Wiese rinnt: 
Schlummre sanft, mein trautes Kind!  

Blümlein schlummert auf der Au', 
Trinkt im Schlummer süßen Thau, 
Auf den reichen 
Blüthenzweigen 
Vöglein all' entschlummert sind: 
Schlummre sanft, mein trautes Kind!  

Stille wie die Perl' im Meer 
Ruhet Alles rings umher; 
Tausend Hüter 
Blicken nieder, 
Ewig, ewig treu gesinnt: 
Schlummre sanft, mein trautes Kind!
