was looking down on them, leaning over the bannistars and listening all she childishly could.

She cancelled all her engauzements. She climbed over the bannistars she gave a childy cloudy cry: Nuée! Nuée!
Vöglein sitzt im warmen Nest, Schifflein liegt im Hafen,
Sonne schläft schon tief und fest,
auch mein Kind will schlafen.
