Geh schlafen, Liebste, lege dich zur [Ruhe]1.
Dein Kissen wird in Rosen sich verwandeln,
Das Linnentuch mit Veilchen sich bedecken,
Und nicht, Geliebte, wirst du einsam bleiben:
Es fliegen, um dein hold Gesicht zu schauen,
Zwölf Engelein herab aus Himmelsauen.

Le soir
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Va dormir, couche-toi, repose-toi.
Ton oreiller se transformera en roses,
Ton drap se couvrira de violettes,
Et, bien-aimée tu ne resteras pas seule :
Pour voir ton gracieux visage voleront
Douze angelots descendus des prairies célestes.
