by Fritz Brentano (1840 - 1914)

Leise, leise weht ihr Lüfte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Leise, leise weht ihr Lüfte,
  Denn mein Kind, es geht zur Ruh;
Haucht ihm eure Blütendüfte,
  Blumenbalsam haucht ihm zu.

Aber leise, leise sacht:
Schlafe Herzchen, gute Nacht.

Eng'lein, steiget still hernieder,
  Decket sanft mein Kindlein zu;
Flüstert leis' ihm Himmelslieder,
  Wiegt es ein zu süßer Ruh!

Eng'lein, Vöglein, Lüfte sacht!
Herzchen schläft schon, gute Nacht!
