by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Grad die, wo sich Lieb händ
Language: Alemannic 
Grad die, wo sich Lieb händ, 
Sind so wüt von enand: 
Wie gern käl i selber,
Und gäb der mi Hand!

Und gsäch der in d'Auge
So tief, ass i ka:
Gliich tätsch es wohl merke,
Wie lieb i di ha!

Doch weiß i e Trost au,
Dä tröstet mi g'schwind:
D'Gedanke vo de Mensche
Sind g'schwind wie der Wind.

Kei Vogel ka fliege
So g'schwind übers Land,
Ass die, wo sich Lieb händ,
Könne ko zu enand!
