by Theodor Gaßmann (1828 - 1871)

Mein Kindchen, mein Kindchen, nun...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Kindchen, mein Kindchen, nun schlafe wohl ein,
Schon fällt auf dein Lager der Mondenschein,
Drauf steigen die Engel herab und hinauf 
Und suchen die artigen Kinderchen auf.
Und spielen mit ihnen auf blumigen Au'n,
Und lassen die silbernen Sternen sie schau'n,
Und wenn so ein Kindchen recht fromm sich erwies,
Darf's jede Nacht in das Paradies.
Drum mußt du recht artig und gut immer sein,
Mein Kindchen, mein Kindchen, nun schlafe wohl ein.
