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

Wat had het hutje zo menig gat
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Wat had het hutje zo menig gat,
[waar het maagdeken met haar]1 Kindeken zat!
[    ‘Susa nina, susa soem!
Mijn Kind is des hemels schoonste bloem!’]2

Er was geen venster, er was geen deur...
In het dak was zoo menige reet en scheur...
[    ‘Susa nina, susa soem!
Mijn Kind is des hemels schoonste bloem!’]2

Door de reten floot zoo scherpe wind,
door de zoldering sneeuwde het op het kind. --
[    ‘Susa nina, susa soem!
Mijn Kind is des hemels schoonste bloem!’]2

Maria wiegde het Kind op haar schoot,
en kuste zijn ijskoude wangjes rood...
[    ‘Susa nina, susa soem!
Mijn Kind is des hemels schoonste bloem!’]2

Sint Jozef nam het zoo zacht op [zijn]3 kniën,
En sprak: "Groote eer moet U geschiën!" --
[    ‘Susa nina, susa soem!
Mijn Kind is des hemels schoonste bloem!’]2

En de os en het heel klein ezelkijn
aanbaden het zoete Kindekijn --
[    ‘Susa nina, susa soem!
Mijn Kind is des hemels schoonste bloem!’]2
