by Meinrad Lienert (1865 - 1933)

Wän's dimmered
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch) 
Wie schöin isch vorem Hüsli z'gruobe,
Wän's üb'rei fot a dimm're.
Wän jedes Hälmli will vertnucke,
Und d'Bäum fönd afo zämerucke.
Wänn alls änand're, wyt und breit,
Se schloff dä wohl! und Adie sait.

Wän hinder alle Bärge ufe
Guotwetterwülchli chömed,
Und tüönd die rote Fähndli rohde,
As d'Güntli z'räuke chönd im Bode,
Und 's Fröschli sait: Es wird mi Schy
Det obe Fahneschwinged sy!

Wän ßeserherrged goht dur Weide
Mit sym Wychwasserweddel.
Und täueled uf's Rosechnöpfli,
Uf's nötigst Gresli au äs Tröpfli,
Wän 's Obedstärnli rüöbig trait
's Latärnli us dr Ebigkeit.
