by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

De Schipperfru
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Slap Kindjen söt,
Ik weeg di mit de Föt; 
Buten geit dat wille Haf, 
Dar weegt din Vader wul op un af:
Slap Kindjen söt. 

Slap Kind un dröm 
Vun Vageln un gollne Böm! 
Ik hör de See de ganze Nacht,
It sitt un leng de ganze Dag: 
Slap du Kind un dröm. 

Slap du Engelsgesicht,
He kumt gewis torügg, 
Un keem he nich dat weer to swar, 
So seet un leng ik ümmerdar: 
Slap du Engelsgesicht! 

Confirmed with Quickborn von Klaus Groth, zweiundzwanzigste bis vierundzwanzigste Auflage, Kiel und Leipzig, Verlag von Lipsius & Tischer, 1899, page 144.
