Mamma ætlar að sofna

Seztu hérna hjá mér,
 systir mín góð.
 Í kvöld skulum við vera
 kyrrlát og hljóð.
Í kvöld skulum við vera
 kyrrlát af því,
 að mamma ætlar að reyna að sofna
 rökkrinu í.
Mamma ætlar að sofna.
 Mamma er svo þreytt.
 - Og sumir eiga sorgir,
 sem svefninn getur eytt.
Sumir eiga sorgir,
 og sumir eiga þrá,
 sem aðeins í draumheimum
 uppfyllast má.
Í kvöld skulum við vera
 kyrrlát og hljóð.
 Mamma ætlar að sofna,
 systir mín góð.
