Sandmännchen – Eight handbells

Sandmännchen is a lullaby by Johannes Brahms that speaks of how the flowers work hard making wonderful scents during the day, and rest at night.

Die Blümelein, sie schlafen
schon längst im Mondenschein,
sie nicken mit den Köpfen
auf ihren Stengelein.
Es rüttelt sich der Blütenbaum,
er säuselt wie im Traum:
Schlafe, schlafe, schlaf du, mein Kindelein!
The flowers went to sleep,
They were tired from making fragrances
The flowers went to sleep
They were tired from making fragrances
Good night, good night! My baby, good night!
