Das tote Lieb

Es fahrt e Wind i d'Linde
und d'Bletter fallen ab,
se stübe gäge d'Chile,
se stüben über es Grab.

Im Fridhof duß am Mürli
do ist e chüele Platz
und under düre Blueme
do lit und schloft mi Schatz.

Es fahrt e Wind i d'Linde
und jagt 's gäl Laub dervo.
Vom Früelig und vom Summer
het mi arm Schatz nüt verno.
