possibly by Moritz Anton Friedrich Wießner (1786 - 1830)

Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
   
Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein! 
Vöglein, die heut' so schön sangen, 
Vöglein sind schlafen gegangen; 
Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein!  

Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein!  
Lämmlein [sind auch schon im Stalle,
Schlossen die Äuglein schon alle]1; 
Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein!  

Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein! 
Morgen singt Vöglein dir Lieder, 
Lämmlein spielt auch mit dir wieder!  
Schlafe, lieb' Kindlein, schlaf' ein!
