by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Schlaflied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf' ein, mein Kind! Süss ist die Ruh'
Nach kummerschwerem Tag. 
Nachts schwinge sich mein Geist Dir zu,
Sei schützend bei Dir wach;
Und raune Dir süße Lieder in's Ohr,
Und führe Dir schöne Bilder vor,
Von Vaterhaus und Kinderzeit,
Von Lieben und von Seligkeit,
Von Gott und von Unsterblichkeit:
Von Allem was Dein Herz erfreut! --

Confirmed with Gedichte von Friedrich Bodenstedt, Bremen, Verlag von Franz Schlodtmann, 1852, page 43.
