Somnoroase păsărele
Language: Romanian (Română)
Somnoroase păsărele
Pe la cuiburi se adună,
Se ascund în rămurele -
Noapte bună!
Doar isvoarele suspină,
Pe când codrul negru tace;
Dorm şi florile-n grădină -
Dormi în pace!
Trece lebăda pe ape
Între trestii să se culce -
Fie-ţi îngerii aproape,
Somnul dulce!
Peste-a nopţii feerie
Se ridică mândra lună,
Totu-i vis şi armonie -
Noapte bună!
