by Friedrich Stoltze (1816 - 1891)

Schlaf sanft in deinem Kämmerlein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf sanft in deinem Kämmerlein 
Bis dich die Engel wecken! 
Es soll so weich dein Bette sein
Wie seidne Pfühl' und Decken.

Wir legen Blumen, roth und blau,
Zu Häupten und zu Füßen;
Der Himmel wird sie dir mit Thau,
Mit Thränen wir begießen.

Auf daß, wann kommt der liebe Christ 
Im Morgenroth gegangen,
Die Braut nicht ohne Blumen ist,
Ihn festlich zu empfangen.
