Komm zu mir, dann wieg' ich dich, wiege dich zur Ruh’. Komm zu mir und weine nicht, mach die Augen zu. Ich flechte dir aus meinem Haar eine Wiege, sieh! Schläfst drin aller Schmerzen bar, träumst drin ohne Müh’. Meine Augen sollen dir blinkend Spielzeug sein. Meine Lippen schenk ich dir - trink dich in sie ein.
