(Translated from German)

Sleep, my child, sleep

Your heart beats beneath my hand

And I will cradle you

In these open wounds of mine

This heart

Softly onward through me

And your heart belongs to me

And I cradle you

In this darkening love

This heart

Dream these sacred wounds will bleed

And the angels mourn

Only to see you sleeping

My child, sleep and I

Will cradle you
