by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

Vullmacht sin Twȩschens
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Wat gluddert in Blomhof un lacht achtern Tun?
De Vullmacht sin Twȩschens, de Witt un de Brun.

De Vagt un de Schriwer gungn ęben værbi,
Weer jüs as en Beertünn mit Hænken derbi.

Wa lach do de Brune un schüttel de Haar:
Du kriggst mal de Krumme, schast sehn, noch vuntjahr!

Wa lach do de Witte un klapp inne Hann':
Du kriggst mal de Dicke, de Dicke ton Mann! -

Ik kik dær de Paten un heff mi bedacht:
Wat much ik denn, Schriwer wȩn - oder de Vagt?

Confirmed with Quickborn von Klaus Groth, zweiundzwanzigste bis vierundzwanzigste Auflage, Kiel und Leipzig, Verlag von Lipsius & Tischer, 1899, page 260.
