Schlafe, mein Liebster, genieße der Ruh, |
Sleep, my beloved, enjoy Your rest, |
Wach nach diesem vor aller Gedeihen! |
and awaken after it for all the fortunate! |
Labe die Brust, |
Let your heart delight, |
Empfinde die Lust, |
experience the joy |
Wo wir unser Herz erfreuen! |
that rejoices our hearts! |
