by Christiane Rosalia Friederik (1839 - 1901), as Ada Christen

Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O weine nicht! 
Dein Äuglein sind 
So blau und licht, 
Schlaf ein, mein Kind.  

Dem Vöglein im Wald 
Ist kalt, ach kalt. 
Und für Dein reines 
Blumengesicht, 
Du Kind, Du kleines, 
Taugt Regen nicht.  

Du liegst so warm 
In meinem Arm,  --  
Hör' wie der Wind 
Die Zweiglein bricht!  --  
Schlaf ein geschwind 
Und weine nicht!

Confirmed with Ada Christen, Schatten, Hamburg: Hoffmann und Campe, 1872, page 13. Appears in Daheim.
