by (Johann Christoph) Friedrich Haug (1761 - 1829)

Langsam wieg' und leise
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Langsam wieg' und leise 
Schaukelbettchen, du,
Jetzt mein Kind zur Ruh!
[Tön', o Liederweise,
Sanft und leicht dazu!]1

Unter [stillem]2 Wiegen, 
Summen und Lullein, 
Soll es wohl gedeihn,
Schließ'es mit Vergnüngen 
Seine Äugelein!

Holde Traumgesichte
Aus dem Paradies,
Ach, umschwebt es süß,
Daß es wohn' im Lichte,
[Trotz der Finsterniß]3.

Mit dem Morgenrothe
Weck' es dann mein Kuß 
Zu des Tags Genuß;
Und ein Himmelsbote 
[Ist]4 sein Genius.
