Utsichten
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Und wenn min Hanne lopen kann
So gat wi beidn spazeern,
Denn seggt di Kinner alltohop:
Wats dat vern lüttje Deern?

Un wenn min Hanne gröter ward
So kriggt se'n smucken Hot,
Denn seggt de Kinner alltohop:
Wa ward min Hanne grot!

Un wenn se noch vȩl gröter ward
So kennt se ȩr ni mehr,
Denn seggt de Kinner alltohop:
Prinzessin keem derhȩr!

Confirmed with Quickborn von Klaus Groth, Elfte Auflage, Hamburg, W. Mauke Söhne, 1869, page 10. In this edition, it is the third poem in the set, but did not appear in some earlier editions.

Und wenn mein' Hanne laufen kann
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Plattdeutsch 
Und wenn mein' Hanne laufen kann,
so gehn wir beid' spaziern,
dann stehn die Kinder alle still:
"Wer ist die kleine Dirn?"

Und wenn mein Hanne grösser wird,
kriegt sie den schmucksten Hut,
dann stehn die Kinder alle still:
"Guck Hanne mit dem Hut."

Und wenn sie noch viel grösser wird,
so kennt man sie nicht mehr,
dann stehn die Kinder alle still:
"Prinzessin kommt daher!"
