 Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh
 Wie noch in schöneren Stunden,
 Sing meinem Herzen, dem wunden,
 Tröstende Lieder sing du!

 Drücke die Augen mir zu!
 Blumen die Häupter jetzt neigen;
 Trauernde rasten und schweigen,
 Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh!

 Bette dein Vögelchen du!
 Stürme, ach! haben's entfiedert;
 Liebe, sie drückt unerwiedert;
 Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh!


Mother! oh, sing me to rest
As in my bright days departed:
Sing to thy child, the sick-hearted,
Songs for a spirit oppress'd ...

Lay this tired head on thy breast !
Flowers from the night-dew are closing.
Pilgrims and mourners reposing
Mother, oh ! sing me to rest!

Take back thy bird to its net !
Weary is young life when blighted,
Heavy this love unrequited!
Mother, oh ! sing me to rest!
