Wiegenlied

Language: German

Wie sich der Äuglein kindlicher Himmel,
Schlummerbelastet, lässig verschließt!
Schließe sie einst so, lockt dich die Erde:
Drinnen ist Himmel, außen ist Lust!

Wie dir so schlafrot glühet die Wange!
Rosen aus Eden hauchten sie an:
Rosen die Wangen, Himmel die Augen,
Heiterer Morgen, himmlischer Tag!

Wie des Gelockes goldige Wallung
Kühlet der Schläfe glühenden Saum.
Schön ist das Goldhaar, schöner der Kranz drauf:
Träum du vom Lorbeer, bis er dir blüht.

Liebliches Mündchen, Engel umweh'n dich,
Drinnen die Unschuld, drinnen die Lieb!
Wahre sie, Kindchen, wahre sie treulich!
Lippen sind Rosen, Lippen sind Glut.

Wie dir ein Engel faltet die Händchen,
Falte sie einst so, gehst du zur Ruh'!
Schön sind die Träume, wenn man gebetet:
Und das Erwachen lohnt mit dem Traum.



Lullaby

Language: English

How carelessly eyes' childlike heaven
Close, full of sleep!
Close them thus, when the earth calls you:
Heaven is in you, outside is joy.

How your cheeks grow red with sleep!
Roses from Eden have breathed on them:
Your cheeks are roses, your eyes are heaven,
Bright morning, heavenly day.

How the golden waves of your locks
cool the glowing fringe of your temples.
Lovely is the golden hair, lovelier the garland on it:
dream of the laurel until it blooms for you.

Sweet little mouth, the angels are around you,
Inside is innocence, inside is love!
Guard them, my child, guard them faithfully!
Lips are roses, lips are warmth.

An angel folds your little hands,
Fold them thus one day when you go to rest!
Dreams are beautiful when you pray:
And your awakening rewards you with a dream.
