¶Liedtext

Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight! Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore; Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep; - Rock me to sleep, Mother,– rock me to sleep! Mother, dear Mother, the years have been long Since I was hushed by your lullaby song: Yet with deep fondness and passionate pain, Yearn I tonight for your presence again. Tired of the hollow, the bas and untrue, Mother, dear Mother, my heart pines for you; Never hereafter to wake, or to weep, Rock me to sleep, Mother,– rock me to sleep!
