by Adolf Grimminger (1827 - 1903)

Wie der Mond so freundlich schaut
Language: Swabian (Schwäbisch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wie der Mond so freundlich schaut
  Über Busch und Hecke! 
Nachtigall sing net so laut,
  Möcht'scht meĩ' Schätzle wecke.

Wo die schönschte Rösle sind,
  Ischt ihr Fenschterlädle; 
Mit de Rösle schpielt der Wind,
  Aber mir g'hört 's Mädle.
