by Albert Sergel (1876 - 1946)

Schlummerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Vöglein gingen längst zur Ruh;
das Täubchen flog dem Schlage zu
und sitzt nun bei den Kleinen.
Der Vater schliesst das Gartentor.
Da guckt auch schon der Mond hervor
und tausend Sterne scheinen.

Nun mache deine Äuglein zu
und schlafe süss, mein Liebling du!
Ein Engel hält am Bette Wacht.
Mein Herzenskind, gut Nacht, gut Nacht!
          Gute Nacht!

Confirmed with Sehnen und Suchen, Vierte Auflage, Rostock: C.J.E. Volckmann (Volckman & Wetter), 1905, page 115.
