by Joannes Reddingius (1873 - 1944)

Wat ben je mooi, mijn lieve kind
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Wat ben je mooi, mijn lieve kind,
in ' t kleedje van flanel ,
wat ben je mooi, mijn lieve kind,
zoo zuiver in uw spel
van lachend staan
en ommegaan
o; voetjes, vlug -vlug - vlug,
nu hier vandaan,
nu hierop aan,
nu wèg weer en terug.

Hij weet en dans èn melodie
en gratievollen zwier,
uw dichter weer herboren, 
die zet teekens op ' t papier.

Wat ben je mooi, mijn lieve kind,
het liedjen is ten end,
wat ben je mooi, , mijn lieve kind,
dat lachend mij verwent.
