by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Hoort hoe die twee waterleikes
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Hoort hoe die twee waterleikes,
  vluchtig vlietende onder 't gers,
over zand en over keikes
  nooit van [loopen 'n zijn te wers]1:
hobbel-dobbel-drets- en drevelend,
krinkele winkele weg, al [krevelen]2,
  nu alhier en dan aldaar,
  loopen ze... ai 'k en weet [nie']3 waar.

Nauwlijks eerst een duimke diepe,
  nieuw geboren onder 't zand,
worden z'haast een zelver striepken
  half zoo breed als heel mijn hand:
rimpel-dimpel-donkel-dansend,
uit ende in malkaar gekranseld,
  nu alhier en dan aldaar,
  loopen ze... ai 'k en weet [nie']3 waar.
