from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Draußen weht der Abendwind!
Alle Kinder ruh'n vom Schwärmen,
und verstummt ist alles Lärmen;
schlafe wohl, mein liebes Kind!

Draußen weht der Abendwind!
Manches Herz erquickt kein Schlummer,
aber du weißt nichts von Kummer;
schlafe wohl, mein liebes Kind!

Draußen weht der Abendwind!
Sei noch spät wie heut' in Frieden
dir solch sich'rer Schlaf beschieden!
Schlafe wohl, mein liebes Kind!
