Fühlst du's o Seele wie der Abend geht? Glühwürmchen schweben über Wies und Beet tief in den stillen dunklen Wald hinein. So klein und fein. Sternlein an Sternelein. Schlaf ein! Schlaf ein! Schlaf ein! Lieg nun in's hohe Gras und halte Ruh, und schaue den vielen tausend Lichtlein zu, der vielen tausend lieben Sternelein die ziehn wohl leise in den Himmel ein Schlaf ein! Schlaf ein! Schlaf ein!
