by René de Clercq (1877 - 1932)

Wie zal er ons kindeke douwen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Wie zal er ons kindeke douwen,
En doet het zijn moederke niet?
Wie zal er zijn dekentjes vouwen,
Dat 't schaarsch door een holleken ziet?.
Kleine, kleine, Moederke alleen,
Douw-douw-douw derideine,
Kleine, kleine, Moederke alleen,
Kan van uw wiegske niet scheên!

Wie zal naar ons kindeke kijken,
Dien bleuzenden stouten kapoen?
Wie zal er zijn hemdekes strijken,
Zijn haarken in krullekes doen?
Kleine, kleine, Moederke alleen,
Douw-douw-douw derideine,
Kleine, kleine, Moederke alleen,
Kan van uw wiegske niet scheên!

Wie zou voor ons kindeke derven,
Heur laatste kruimelke brood?
Wie zou er, wie zou er voor sterven,
En lachen op kind en op dood?
Kleine, kleine, Moederke alleen,
Douw-douw-douw derideine,
Kleine, kleine, Moederke alleen,
Kan van uw wiegske niet scheên!
