Poem by Emanuel Geibel, adapted from Lope de Vega

You holy angels, floating around these palm trees this windy night: silence the treetops, my child is sleeping.
You palm trees of Bethlehem, don't roar so angrily in the wind! Hush, my child is sleeping.
Heaven's child suffers; Earth's woes have made him so tired!
Now in sleep his pain fades. Silence the treetops, my child is sleeping.
Fierce cold rushes down; how to keep my child warm? All you angels: silence the treetops, my child is sleeping.
