by James Grun (1868 - 1928)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf ein, gewieget an meiner Brust,
Kind - heißer Tränen der Qual und Lust,
Schlafe, Kindchen, schlafe!

Ich liebe dich und lieb' dich so sehr,
Als ob ich Mutter und Vater dir wär',
Schlafe, Kindchen, schlafe!

Im Mutterherzen, da ruht sich's warm,
Ich will dich schützen vor Haß und Harm,
Schlafe, Kindchen, schlafe!

Nicht Frost noch Winter gibt es hier,
Der ewige Frühling lebt in mir.
Schlafe, Kindchen, schlafe!

Vor meiner Liebe zerging der Streit,
Darfst ruhen und träumen in Ewigkeit,
Schlafe, Kindchen, schlafe!
