NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
't Meiske, met zijn' teele melk,
op zijn' bloote voetjes,
lang, gelijk nen terruwstelk,
zoetjes, zoetjes, zoetjes
terdt het voort, en anders niet
als zijn teele melk en ziet't.

't Meisken hoorde: 'Goeden dag!'
zeggen, zoetjes, zoetjes:
'Mietje!' 't Meisken ommezag ...
Op zijn' bloote voetjes
viel de melk en, vol verdriet,
wie dat 't was en wist het niet.
 
Meiske, meiske, meiske snel,
op uw' bloote voetjes,
melk aan 't dragen, wacht u wel:
zoetjes, zoetjes, zoetjes,
mijdt u, meiske, en, hoort gij iet,
vóór u, maar niet omme en ziet!
