by Otto Franz Gensichen (1847 - 1933)

Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!
Tag ist längst vergangen,
Schlummer hält umfangen
Ringsum Groß und Klein:
Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!

Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!
Leise erdwärts steigen
In dem nächt'gen Schweigen
Sel'ge Engelein:
Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!

Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!
In dem nächt'gen Schweigen
Wird auch erdwärts steigen
Dir dein Engelein:
Armes Herz, schlaf' ein!
