Ich habe mein Kindlein in Schlaf gewiegt
und es mit Rosen bedeckt,
damit es recht schön und stille liegt,
bis es der Morgen erweckt.

Mit roten Rosen und weißem Klee
hab' ich mein Kindlein bestreut,
damit unter Blumen ich's schlafen seh',
bis sich der Tag erneut.

With roses strewn

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

I have lulled my little child to sleep
and he is strewn with roses,
thus he is truly lovely and lies still
until the morning wakes him.

With red roses and white clover
I have strewn my little child,
thus among the flowers I see him sleeping
until the day is renewed.
