Representative Text

1 Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Der Vater hüt’ die Schaf;
Die Mutter schüttelt’s Bämlelein,
Da fällt herab ein Träumelein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

2 Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Am Himmel ziehn die Schaf’;
Die Sternlein sind die Lämmerlein,
Der Mond ist das Schäferlein,
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!

3 Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Geh fort, und hüt’ die Schaf’;
Geh fort, du schwarzes Hündelein,
Und weck mir nicht mein Kindelein!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
