by Guido Moritz Görres (1805 - 1852)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlafe süß in Gottes Schooß,  
Stürmt auch kalt der Wind; 
Gott beschirmt ja Klein und Groß,
Schlafe süß mein Kind! 

Ohne Sorgen schlaf in Ruh'!
Lächle froh im Traum! 
Gottes Liebe deckt dich zu,
Träum vom Weihnachtsbaum! 

Träume von dem Himmel klar,
Von den Lilien rein! 
Spiele mit der Engel Schaar!
Träum vom Jesulein. 

Was zu dir das Kindlein spricht,
Nimm' es wohl in Acht!  
Sag mir's ja, vergiss es nicht,
Bist du aufgewacht. 

Confirmed with Deutsches Hausbuch, II. Band, III. Heft, München: In Commission der literarisch-artistischen Anstalt, 1847, page 88.
