by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

In dem Himmel ruht die Erde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
In dem Himmel ruht die Erde,
Mond und Sterne halten Wacht,
Auf der Erd' ein kleiner Garten
Schlummert in der Blumen Pracht.--
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Garten steht ein Häuschen,
Still von Linden überdacht;
Vor dem kleinen Erkerfenster
Hält ein Vogel singend Wacht.--
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Erker schläft ein Mädchen,
Träumet von der Blumenpracht;
Ihr im Herzen ruht der Himmel,
D'rin die Engel halten Wacht.--
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

Note: Lang's manuscript ends with "Gute Nacht, gute Gut!" - presumably a typo.
