O süsser Schlaf von Isouard
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
O süßer Schlaf, lass dein Gefieder schützend die Unschuld sanft umweh'n, lass sie im Traume beglücket sich seh'n! Hoffnung, steig, steig sanft hernieder!
Note: Abt's song uses a melody by Niccolò Isouard from his opera "Cendrillon" (in German: "Aschenbrödel")
