by Josephine Lang (1815 - 1880)

Der ersten kleinen Enkelin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Schlaf mein klein Kikiken! Schlummre nur lind!
Du kleines Mietziken, bist mein lieb Kind!
Vögelein zwitschern und singen dir zu!
Mein liebes Veilchen im März das bist du!

Väterchen liebend dich wieget im Arm
Mütterchen küsset in Liebe dich warm.
Drum mein lieb Blümlein, die Äuglein schließ zu!
Und werd' wie das Veilchen bescheiden auch du!

Auf's Bettchen Großmutter dir legt diesen Satz,
Dann bist du für immer auch ihr lieber Schatz!
O du mein Mitziken, klein Mitzi mein!
Mußt eben wie Dickÿ und Mitziken sein

O du klein Mitziken, wenn auch so klein!
Mußt stets nur wie Dickÿ und Mietziken[sic] sein!
