by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

In Garn ünnert Finster ‑ de Bom is so...
Language: Plattdeutsch 
In Garn ünnert Finster - de Bom is so grön -
Singt all Nacht en Vagel so truri, so schön.

Bi Meddersch schreeg œwer - so witt is de Stuv -
Singt all Dag Anneeten un lacht as en Duv.

Dat lacht un dat weent, un dat kloppt mi ant Hart,
Kloppt jümmer in Takt, bet en Leed derut ward.
