by Adolf Frey (1855 - 1920)

Des Küsters Kind
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch) 
Der Sigrist ist e räße Ma,
Es ist e ruchi Sach,
Er hüetet wärli Tag und Nacht
Sis Meili wen e Drach.

I warte, bis er d'Glogge zieht,
Denn bin I flingg zer Hand,
Denn chönne mer gschwind z'säme stoh
Und schätzle mit enand.

Ir Höchi schället's Glingglanggling
Und cheßlet über's Land,
Und unde simmer au nid still
Und schätzle mit enand.

Confirmed with Duß und underm Rafe. Füfzg Schwizerliedli von Adolf Frey, zweite Auflage, Frauenfeld: Verlag von J. Huber, 1899, page 36.
