English text
Sleep! the bird is in its nest;
Sleep! the bee is hushed to rest;
Sleep! rocked on thy mother's breast!
Lulla, lullaby,
To thy mother's fond heart pressed,
Lulla, lullaby.
Sleep! the waning daylight dies;
Sleep! the stars dream in the skies;
Daisies long have closed their eyes;
Lulla, lullaby,
Calm, how calm on all things lies!
Lulla, lullaby.
Sleep, then, sleep! my heart's delight;
Sleep! and through the darksome night
Round thy bed God's angels bright,
Lulla, lullaby,
Guard thee till I come with light;
Lulla, lullaby.
