Goeden nacht! soet en sacht 
slaep en rust! alles sust: 
ooc het windeken isser so stil, 
niewaer enich gheluut no gheghil.
Slaep, mijn minneken, slaep!

Davontster micket van ver; 
so als hi hel en bli 
bringhic, minneken, u ene groet: 
gheef u God enen vroliken moet! 
Slaep, mijn minneken, slaep!

Liefken goet, minneken soet, 
goeden nacht! slaep nu sacht! 
met des dagheraets criekende strael 
sal u wecken de nachtegael. 
Slaep, mijn minneken, slaep!
