Drowsy birds at even gliding
Round about their nests alight
In among the branches hiding
Dear, good night
Silence through the forest creeping
Lullaby the river sighs
In the garden flowers sleeping
Shut your eyes
Glides the swan among the rushes
To its rest where moonlight gleams
And the angels whisper hushes
Peaceful dreams
O'er the sky stars without number
On the earth a silver light
All is harmony and slumber
Dear, good night
