Og Drengen ligger i Moders Skød
-- Lille, min Lille! --
og smiler stille i Søvnen sød.
Lille! -- Oh, Lille! min Lille!

Naar Drengen vaagner, saa skal han le
-- Lille, min Lille! --
og Sol og Maane, dem skal han se.
Lille! -- Oh, Lille! min Lille!

Og han skal vokse sig stærk og stor,
-- Lille, min Lille! --
og blive større end lille Mor.
Lille! Oh, Lille! min Lille!

Men alle Stjerner blev enig om
-- Lille, min Lille! --
at gøre ham baade stærk og from.
Lille! Oh, Lille! min Lille.
