Ruhe sanft mein holdes Leben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ruhe sanft mein holdes Leben, 
schlafe, bis dein Glück erwacht;
da, mein Bild will ich dir geben,
schau, wie freundlich es dir lacht:
ihr süssen Träume, wiegt ihn ein,
und lasset seinem Wunsch am Ende
die wollustreichen Gegenstände
zu reifer Wirklichkeit gedeihn.
