Mother! oh, sing me to rest
Language:
English
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!

Mutter, o sing mich zur Ruh!
Language:
German
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!
