by Franz von Kobell (1803 - 1882)

S'Herz
Language: Swabian (Schwäbisch) 
[Mädche']1 laß dir 'was [verzähle]2,
Geb' mer uff dei' Herzche' Acht,
Is es aach gut eingemacht,
'S wär' halt doch vielleicht zu stehle';
Un deß weescht de selber gut,
'S Herz is mehr als e' Vermöge'
Un gar viel is d'ran gelege',
Wann mer deß verliere' thut. 

Ganz was anners, liebes Schätzche'
Is es aber, wann mit Art
Dir e' Freund deß Herz verwahrt
Am e' gute' sichre' Plätzche'.
Do is nix d'rbei rischquirt,
Drum, so geb mir's ufzuhebe',
Will jo gern mei' ganzes Lebe'
Sorge', daß 'm nix passirt.
