by Karl Eduard von Holtei (1798 - 1880)

Spricht der Hanns zu der Grete
Language: Silesian (Schlesisch) 
Spricht der Hanns zu der Grete:
Hä, wie gutt bist de mir? 
Spricht de Grete zum Hannse:
Ihch luss nie nich' vohn Dir;
Magst de gihn wu de willt 
Durch'a Puhsch, über'sch Feld 
Und ich loofe Dir nach 
Bas an's Ende der Welt.

Spricht der Hanns zu der Grete: 
Nu, versuch' Du's amol, 
Loof' zengsrüm üm de Erde, 
Mir is' Alles eingol; 
In de Uder spring' nei,
Fleug in's himmelsche Zelt 
Und ich loofe Dir nach 
Bas an's Ende der Welt.
