by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

Schippers Brut
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Kumm mit, dat graut int Osten, 
Kumm mit, un mak doch to!   
"Ik kann ni gan, ik kann ni stan, 
Min Hart dat kloppt mi so!" 

Ik dreg di oppen Armen, 
Ik dreg di bet ant Boot! 
"Wat schall min arme Moder seggn, 
De weent und schriggt sik dot!"  

Din Moder ward sik trösten, 
Din Vader ist to hart! 
Ik will din Vader un Moder wen, 
Bet he mal anners ward. 

"Ik kann ni vun di laten, 
Keen Annern bün ik gut!" 
So dreg ik di op beide Hann' 
Bet ut de Welt herut! 

Ik heff min Boot int Water, 
Ik heff min Schipp in See, 
Ik heff min Leefste in min Arm  --  
Min Vaderland, ade!
