by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Wächter schweigt, die Zinnen ragen, 
Im Söller sitz' ich ganz allein.
O Kind, das ich mit Leid getragen,
  Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein!

Die Wiege wiegt in sachten Bogen,
Wie könnt' ich reich und selig sein!
Ich denk' an ferne Meereswogen -- --
  Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein!

Lausch' -- wie es lächelt traumgetragen! -- --
Im Söller sitz' ich ganz allein.
O könnt' ich meinem Kummer sagen:
  Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein!
