Säus'le, liebe Myrthe!
Wie still ist's in der Welt,
Der Mond, der Sternenhirte
Auf klarem Himmelsfeld,
Treibt schon die Wolkenschafe
Zum Born des Lichtes hin,
Schlaf, mein Freund, o schlafe,
Bis ich wieder bei dir bin!
Säus'le, liebe Myrthe!
Und träum' im Sternenschein,
Die Turteltaube girrte
Auch ihre Brut schon ein.
Still ziehn die Wolkenschafe
Zum Born des Lichtes hin,
Schlaf, mein Freund, o schlafe,
Bis ich wieder bei dir bin!

Frémit, cher myrte !
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Frémit, cher myrte !
Comme le monde est calme,
La lune, bergère des étoiles,
Sur le clair champ du ciel
Conduit déjà les nuages ses moutons
Vers la source de lumière,
Dors, mon ami, ô dors,
Jusqu'à je sois revenu près de toi !
Frémit, cher myrte !
Et rêve dans le clair d'étoiles,
La tourterelle roucoule
Et appelle déjà sa couvée.
Silencieux, les moutons nuages vont
Vers la source de lumière
Dors, mon ami, ô dors,
Jusqu'à je sois revenu près de toi !
