by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

De Kinner larmt
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Luri treckt de Abendluch 
Æwert Feld so glind;
Wenn'k mi nu wat wünschen much, 
Weer'k noch eenmal Kind. 

Lisen weiht ȩr Lust un Larm 
Wit hendal na't Moor, 
As Musik, so week un warm, 
All as weer't en Chor. 

Kumt mi nich min Lȩben vœr 
As en swaren Drom? 
Wak ik so mal op as Gœr 
Abends ünnern Bom!

All min Freid is sünner Klang,
Un min Hart is arm,
Hör'k in Schummern as Gesang
So de Kinner larm';

Sackt mi rein de Spaden dal
Ut de sware Hand.
Gravt de mi den Weg wul mal
Rin int Kinnerland?
