Goldhahn
Language: Plattdeutsch
Dar sitt en lüttjen Vagel, So gel as Gold, De singt, dat schallt so lusti Dær Busch un Holt. Swig still, du lüttje Vagel, Un fleeg mal hin! Dar eitst vær lüttje Finster Heel hoch en Linn'. Dar sitt un sing so lusti, Un pass mal op! Dar kikt ut lüttje Finster Gewiss en Kopp. Hett goldengele Lucken, Singt ebn so schön, Ik löv, se hett ok Flünken: Kannst du't wul sehn?
