Sov, du dyreste Gutten min! Jeg skal vugge dig, jeg skal våge. Gutten har siddet på sin Moders Fang. De to har leget hele Livsdagen lang. Gutten har hvilet ved sin Moders Bryst hele Livsdagen lang. Grud signe dig, min Lyst! Gutten har ligget til mit Hjerte tæt hele Livsdagen lang. Nu er han så træt. Sov, du dyreste Gutten min! Jeg skal vugge dig, jeg skal våge.
