De Jäger
 (Sung text for setting by A. Cramer)
 See original
Language: Plattdeutsch 
En Jäger gung to jagen ut,
He gung int gröne Holt;
En Blomstruß harr he an sin Hot,
En Fingerrink vun Gold.

Int Hus so grot, int Hus so stolt
Dar wahn en Dam so fin,
Se steek den Rink em an de Hand:
«Nu büst un blüfst du min!»

He gung un schot de Hasen dot,
He schot dat wille Reh.
Wat funn he dar int gröne Holt?
En Mäden oppe Knee.

Se pflückt de roden Eerdbein af,
De grön de leet se stan.
«Kumm mit, kumm mit ut gröne Holt!
Min Jagen heff ik dan!

Wat schęr ik mi um Hus un Feld
Un Gold un Geld derbi!
De Leev is Allens op de Welt,
Un de is blot bi di!»
