by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931)

Klein, klein Kleuterken
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Klein, klein Kleuterken,
wat doe je in mijn hof?
Je rukt er al de bloemen af...
Je maakt het veel te grof!
Ik zou wel moeten kijven,
ik zou je moeten slaan...
Klein, klein Kleuterken,
maak jou maar gauw vandaan!
 
Klein, klein Lieveken,
wat deê je met mijn hart?
Je vond het zo vol zonneschijn,
- nu is 't er somberzwart...
Ik zou je moeten schuwen,
verjagen moest ik jou! -
Klein, klein Lieveken,
hoe of ik dat kunnen zou?
 
Klein, klein toveresje,
wat doe je met mijn leven?
Ik heb jëealles, wat je wou,
'k heb je mijn ziel gegeven!
Ik zou je moeten haten
en uit je wegen gaan... -
Klein, klein toveresje,
kan 'k zonder je bestaan?
