Das Kind ruht aus vom Spielen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Kind ruht aus vom Spielen, Am Fenster rauscht die Nacht, Die Engel Gottes im Kühlen Getreulich halten Wacht. Am Bettlein still sie stehen, Der Morgen graut noch kaum, Sie küssen's, eh sie gehen, Das Kindlein lacht im Traum.

Après avoir joué, l'enfant se repose
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Après avoir joué, l'enfant se repose, La nuit murmure à la fenêtre, Dans la fraîcheur les anges de Dieu Montent une fidèle garde. Ils se tiennent en silence au bord du petit lit, L'aube point encore à peine, Ils l'embrassent avant de partir, L'enfant rit dans son rêve.
