by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Dit voetjen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
gingen te gare de kalvekes wachten.
De kalvekes liepen in 't [kooren]1.
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
  ze liepen al zeere vooren.
 
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
zal ik te gare in [het]2 waterke wasschen.
Het waterke zal ze spoelen.
    Dit voetjen
    en dat voetje
  zullen in 't [water]3 koelen.
Ze zullen zoo rood als de roozekes blinken,
  ze zullen zoo wit als de melk zijn
    lijk bezekes onder de blaren.
