by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)
De Duv
Language: Plattdeutsch
Wo is din Vadershus, Wo is de Port? »Buten, dat Dörp to Enn', Buten den Ort.« Wo is din Kamerdœr, Wo is din Stuv? »Baben na't Finster rop Rankt sik en Druv. Kumm du um Merrennacht, Kumm du Klock een: Vader slöppt, Moder slöppt, Ik slap alleen. Kumm anne Kœkendœr, Kumm anne Klink: Vader meent, Moder meent, Dat deit de Wind.« – Baben nan Finster rop Rankt sik en Druv: Achter dat Swölkennest Bu't en witte Duv!
