Bei der Wiege
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ITA
Schlummre! Schlummre und träume von kommender Zeit,
Die sich dir bald muß entfalten,
Träume, mein Kind, von Freud' und Leid,
Träume von lieben Gestalten!
Mögen auch viele noch kommen und gehen,
Müssen dir neue doch wieder erstehen,
Bleibe nur fein geduldig!

Schlummre und träume von Frühlingsgewalt,
Schau' all' das Blühen und Werden,
Horch, wie im Hain der Vogelsang schallt,
Liebe im Himmel, auf Erden!
Heut' zieht's vorüber und kann dich nicht kümmern,
Doch wird dein Frühling auch blühn und schimmern,
Bleibe nur fein geduldig! Schlummre!
