by M. A. Schneider (flourished 19th century)

Das Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schon decken die Schatten
die grünenden Matten;
es sinket hernieder
mit dunklem Gefieder,
mit glänzender Pracht
gestirnet, die Nacht.

O komme, du traute,
du liebliche Laute,
begleite mein Sehnen
mit klagenden Tönen
und flüst're zur Ruh'
dem Liebchen zu:

O schlumm're, mein Leben,
von Engeln umgeben;
zum Himmel entrückt
bin ich ja beglückt,
geliebet von dir;
o träume von mir!
