Original text and translations

English text

Slumber sweetly, dearest,
Close thy weary eyes,
Guardian angels round thee hover,
Till the morn shall rise;
O may love, on airy pinions,
Bear thy heart, in rapture bound,
To it own dominions,
Where no earthly care is found.
Maiden, sleep, sleep in peace.
