by Joannes Reddingius (1873 - 1944)

Vast van maat
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Vast van maat
hij al gaat,
zie, daar komt het blonde kindje
stap voor stapje langzaam aan ....
en 't ondeugend lentewindje waait voor 't grapje
al zijn goudhaar
door elkaar
onder 't gaan .

Groote schat, die vast van mate,
dansend zet je kleine voeten,
't leven kom je mij verzoeten ,
die zich dacht alleen gelaten.

Hansje, Hansje,
'k hoor een heel hoog rhythmendansje
van je loopen en je praten,
gouden woordjes klinken mij
lachend uit de klankenrei,
