by Aloys Wilhelm Schreiber (1761 - 1841)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

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.

Confirmed with Aloys Wilhelm Schreiber, Alemanische Lieder, Tübingen: Heinrich Laupp'sche Buchhandlung, 1817, pages 57 - 58.

Die Dorfkirchglocke
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Alemannic 
Glocke, klingst so fröhlich,
wenn der Hochzeitreihen
zu der Kirche geht!
Glocke, klingst so heilig,
wenn am Sonntagmorgen
öd' der Acker steht.

Glocke, klingst so tröstlich,
rufest du am Abend,
dass es Betzeit sei!
Glocke, klingst so traurig,
rufest du: das bittre
Scheiden ist vorbei!

Sprich, wie kannst du klagen?
Wie kannst du dich freuen?
Bist ein tot Metall.
Aber unsre Leiden,
aber unsre Freuden,
die verstehst du all!

Gott hat Wunderbares,
was wir nicht begreifen,
Glock', in dich gelegt.
Muss das Herz versinken,
du nur kannst ihm helfen,
wenn's der Sturm bewegt.
