PN 42

1 Child, you know my name,

And your sweet gaze beckons to me.

It says to me: simple abandonment.

I want to steer your little boat.

2 With your little child's hand,

O what wonder!

With your little child's voice,

You calm the roaring waves

And the wind!...

3 If you want to rest

While the storm is raging,

Let your little blond head

Rest on my heart.

4 How delightful your smile is

While you're asleep!...

With my sweetest song

I always want to rock you tenderly,

Fair child!
