by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931), as Pol de Mont

‘Suja, nu suja!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
‘Suja, nu suja!
Slape doe!
't Ezelken slaapt al
en 't osje is zoo moê.
 
Suja, nu suja!
Slaap, mijn Kind!
Hoor! Door de reten
schuifelt de wind...
 
Kunt gij niet slapen?
Rilt gij van kou!
Lang al stierf 't laatste
vonkje in de schouw.
 
Doeken? - ontbreken...
Wolle? - geen zier...
Hier in mijn boezem
warm ik u, hier!
 
Hier in mijn boezem,
tot God zich erbarm,
maak ik uw voetjes
weder warm.
 
Kunt gij niet slapen?
Hongert ge en dorst?
Dor zijn uw lippen... 
zoo dor als mijn borst.

Ween niet, mijn Schatje,
ween niet! Zoo 't moet
zal ik u laven
met mijn bloed.
 
Suja, nu slape...
Oogjes, valt toe...
't Ezelken slaapt al
en 't osje is zoo moê.
 
Hoor! Door de reten
schuifelt de wind...
Suja, nu suja,
God - en mijn Kind!’
