The lyrics were written in the 19th century and set to a traditional German folk tune. I have included two versions of this carol arrangement. One has no lever or pedal changes, but the melody has been slightly altered to allow this. The other version has the correct melody but requires some pedaling or skillful levering.

It has a sweet and gentle rocking rhythm like a cradle song.
