by Adolf Schults (1820 - 1858)

Schlaf, o schlaf, mein Herzenskind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf, o schlaf, mein Herzenskind,
In der Wiege süß und lind,
Schließ Dein holdes Augenlicht,
Sieh der Mutter Thränen nicht!

Schlafe, schlafe, träume süß!
Träume von dem Paradies!
Ob Du magst in seinen Au'n
Deinen sel'gen Vater schaun.

Schlaf, o schlafe liebes Herz!
Kennest nicht der Mutter Schmerz;
Weißt ja nicht und fühlest nicht.
Wie ihr Herz vor Kummer bricht.
