Der toten Großmutter
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch)
Großmüetterli im Himmel, wie han i di so gärn! All Obig wenn's tuet dunkle und fürchunt Stärn um Stärn, denn suechi mir von allne de schönst und heiterst us: er stoht so lieb und fründli grad über eusem Hus. I luege, wiener lüchtet uf siner höche Wacht; denn rüefi lislig ufe: "Großmüetterli, Guetnacht!"
