by Aloys Wilhelm Schreiber (1761 - 1841)
An die Glocke
Language: Alemannic
Glock, de klingst so fröli, Wenn der Hochzitreihe Zu der Kirche geht! Glock, de klingst so firli, Wenn am Sunti Morje 's Feld verlosse steht. Glock, de klingst so tröstli, Wenn de riefst am Obed, Daß es Betzit sei! Glock, de klingst so truri, Wenn de riefst: e' bittres Scheide isch verbei. Sprich, wie kansch di freue, Un wie kansch de klage? Bisch e' todts Metall. Aber uns're Lide, Aber uns're Freude De verstehsch se all! Ebes wunderbarli's, Was mer nit begrife, Het Gott in di g'legt. 's Herz, es müeßt versinke, Du, de mueßt em helfe, Wenns der Sturm bewegt.
