[Wenn]1 alle Blumen träumen,
Träumt auch mein liebes Kind,
Nur leise in dem Bäumen
Rauscht manchmal noch der Wind.

Und in sein süßes Träumen
Das Vöglein singt so sacht,
Und aus des Himmels Träumen
Schau'n Sternlein in der Nacht.

Schlaf' sanft, mein Kind,
Dich hüten der Englein Flügelein,
Und Paradieses Blüten sind
All' die Träume dein.
