by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Dit voetjen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
gingen te gare de kalvekes wachten.
De kalvekes liepen in 't kooren.
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
  ze liepen al zeere vooren.
 
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
zal ik te gare in het waterke wasschen.
Het waterke zal ze spoelen.
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
  zullen in 't water koelen.
Ze zullen zoo rood als de roozekes blinken,
  ze zullen zoo wit als de melk zijn
    lijk bezekes onder de blaren.
