Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich Für süße Klänge doch? O Mutter, sieh! wer mag es sein, [In]1 später Stunde noch? "Ich [höre nichts, ich sehe]2 nichts, O schlummre fort so lind! Man bringt dir keine Ständchen [jetzt]3, Du armes, krankes Kind!" [Es ist nicht irdische Musik, Was]4 mich so freudig macht; Mich rufen Engel mit Gesang, O Mutter, gute Nacht!
