Original text and translations

English text

On the woods there broods
Deep repose, deep repose;
Not one breath stirs among the firs,
And no zephyr blows.
The birds have all ended their song.
Wait awhile—erelong
Thine eye shall gently close.

In the heav’nly land,
Angels sing, angels sing:
No pain or care can enter there,
But sweet voices ring.
On earth we must soon end our song.
Wait awhile—erelong
Thine eye shall gently close.
