Close by the noisy brook,
In every shady nook.

Cheering the sick at heart,

Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.

You cannot see me coming,
Nor hear my low sweet humming;
For in the starry night.
And the glad morning light,
come quietly creeping everywhere
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere
More welcome than the flowers
In sum mers pleasant houls;
The gentle cow is glad,
And the merry bird not sad,
To see me creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here | come creeping, creeping everywhere;
When you re numbered with the dead,
In your still and narrow bed,
In the happy spring III come,
And deck your silent home.
