Jorden vilar uti himlen, alla stjärnor hålla vakt och en blomsterlund på jorden slumrar i den stilla prakt; nu god natt! Uti lunden där en hydda tyst i lindars skugga står, in vid murens dolda fönster ljuvligt liten fågel står, Nu god natt, ja nu god natt! Innanför en flicka slumrar drömmande om blomstrens prakt. I dess hjärta vilar himlen, Alla änglar hålla vakt. Nu god natt, ja nu god natt!

Unterm Himmel ruht die Erde, alle Sterne halten Wacht, und ein Blütenhain auf Erden schlummert in der stillen Pracht; gute Nacht! Still im Schatten zweier Linden steht ein Häuschen nah beim Hain; in versteckte Mauernischen kehr’n zur Ruh die Vöglein ein, gute Nacht, nun, gute Nacht! Drin im Häuschen schläft ein Mädchen und träumt von der Blütenpracht. Ihr im Herzen ruht der Himmel, alle Engel halten Wacht. Gute Nacht, nun, gute Nacht!
