possibly by Johann Peter Uz (1720 - 1796)
An den Schlaf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Komm, und senke die umflorten Schwingen, Süßer Schlummer, auf den müden Blick! Segner! Freund! in deinen Armen dringen Trost und Balsam auf's verlorne Glück.
Schochow: "Schubert nennt Uz als Dichter, doch findet sich die Strophe nicht unter den Gedichten von Uz." - Schubert names Uz as the author of this text, but these lines have not been found among Uz's work.
