Schließe, mein Kind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
[Schließe]1, mein Kind,
Schließe die [Äuglein]2 zu:
Leise und lind
Sing' ich [Dich ein zur]3 Ruh'.

Mütterlein wacht,
Schlafe, mein [Kind]4, schlaf' ein --
Manch' bange Nacht
Werd' ich nicht bei Dir sein.

Wenn Du dann weinst,
Denke zum Troste [mein]5,
Die Dich dereinst
Sang in den Schlummer ein.
