by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Schlafe, mein Liebchen, ich decke dich...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlafe, mein Liebchen, ich decke dich zu,
Englein nah'n dir im Traum.
Längst schon gingen Vöglein zur Ruh',
bargen ihr Köpfchen imFlaum.
Schlafe, mein Liebchen, ich decke dir zu,
Englein nah'n dir im Traum.

Schlafe die müden Äuglein dir klar,
bis die Sonne dich weckt;
hält die Liebe vor Leid und Gefahr
dich wie mit Flügeln bedeckt.
Schlafe die müden Äuglein dir klar,
bis die Sonne dich weckt.
