by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)
Lieb' in den Tod
Language: German (Deutsch)
Uffem Kirchhof am Chor Blüeht e Blo-Holder-Strauß, Do fliegt e weiß Täuble, Vor's tage tuet, 'raus. Es streicht wohl e Gässele Nieder and zwue, Es fliegt mer ins Fenster, Es kommt uf mi zue. Jetzt siehn i mein Schatz Und sei linneweiß G'wand Und sei silberes Ringle Von mir an der Hand. Es nickt mer en Grueß, Setzt se nieder am Bett, Frei luegt mer's ins G'sicht, Aber a rüehrt me's net. Drei Woche nach Ostern, Wenn's Nachthüele schreit, Do mache mer Hochzig; Mei Schatz hot mer's g'seit. Fei still ist mei Hochzig, Mer halte kein Tanz. Wer goht mit zur Kirchen? Wer flicht mer de Kranz?
