Sol deroppe ganger under lide

Sol deroppe ganger under lide,
sov mit barn, så bli'r du stærk og stor,
på den vilde havhest skal du ride,
under bølgen dejligst engen gror. 

Hvalerne med deres brede finner
over dig som store skyer gå,
sol og måne gennem vandet skinner,
begge to du skal i drømme få. 

Visselul! Jeg fødte dig med smerte! 
Bliv min glæde altid år for år,
du har drukket livet ved mit hjerte,
hver din tåre til mit hjerte går. 

Sov, mit barn! Jeg sidder ved din vugge,
lad mig kysse dine øjne til,
når engang de begge mine lukke,
hvem mon dig da moder være vil!

by Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875)
