Тихо вечер догорает, Горы золотя; Знойный воздух холодает, - Спи, моё дитя! Соловьи давно запели, Сумрак возвестя; Струны робко зазвенели, - Спи, моё дитя! [Блещут]1 ангельские очи, Трепетно светя; Так легко дыханье ночи, - Спи, моё дитя! Так легко и так привольно, Страсти укротя, В сердце вымолвишь невольно: Спи, моё дитя!

Golden glühn der Berge Gipfel, Kühlung haucht der Wind; Träumend wiegen sich die Wipfel, -- Schlaf, mein holdes Kind! Sangen schon die Nachtigallen, Wie der Tag entrinnt; Meine Saiten auch verhallen: -- Schlaf, mein holdes Kind! Alles schlummert nah und ferne! Athmet leis und lind; Hoch vom Himmel grüßen Sterne: -- Schlaf, mein holdes Kind!
