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
