Maria sitzt im Rosenhag Und wiegt ihr Jesuskind, Durch die Blätter leise Weht der warme Sommerwind. Zu ihren Füßen singt Ein buntes Vögelein: Schlaf, Kindlein, süße, Schlaf nun ein! Hold ist dein Lächeln, Holder deines Schlummers Lust, Leg dein müdes Köpfchen Fest an deiner Mutter Brust! Schlaf, Kindlein, süße, Schlaf nun ein!

Maria zit in de rozengaard En wiegt haar Jezuskind. Door de blaad'ren zachtjes Waait de warme zomerwind. En aan haar voeten zingt Een klein bont vogeltje: Slaap, kindje, zoetjes, Slaap maar in! Lief is je glimlach, Liever nog je droomgezicht, Leg je moede hoofdje Aan je moeders borst maar dicht! Slaap, kindje, zoetjes, Slaap maar in!
