Evening prayer written in 1816, which was prayed at countless children's beds ever since and sung with various melodies as an evening song. The naivety of the text also repeatedly provoked parodies.
The first lines go as follows:
"Müde bin ich, geh zur Ruh,
schließe meine Augen zu.
Vater, lass die Augen dein
über meinem Bette sein". - Licensing
