by Paul van Ostaijen (1896 - 1928)

Mélopée
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Onder de maan schuift de lange rivier
Over de lange rivier schuift moede de maan 
Onder de maan op de lange rivier schuift de kano naar zee 
Langs het hoogriet langs de laagwei schuift de kano naar zee
schuift met de schuivende maan de kano naar zee 
Zo zijn ze gezellen naar zee de kano de maan en de man 
Waarom schuiven de maan en de man getweeën gedwee naar de zee
