Sleepy, little birds by Mihai Eminescu
Tired, sleepy little birds
Come to nests in easy flight,
Hide in the leaves and branches
Oh, good night!
Only springs are slowly purling
While the wood is noiseless,
Flowers, also, are deep sleeping
Sleep in peace!
Swan so gentle floats through
The tall reeds, to get asleep
May the angels stay with you,
Sweet sleep!
Above night's poesy
The moon grows its blue light,
All is dream and harmony -
Good, good night!
