Kennst du dat Land?
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Kennst du dat Land 
An'n Holstenstrand, 
Vun'n Elvstram bit de Eiderkant? 
Wo wit de See, bald lud, bald sacht, 
Sick vor di dehnt in all ehr Pracht? 
Wo ruscht dat Neth und singt de Swan, 
Wo Segel swevt op blaue Bahn? 
Dat smucke Land 
An'n Holstenstrand, 
Dat is min Heimatland!

Kennst du dat Land 
An'n Holstenstrand, 
So lütt, -- un doch so weltbekannt? 
Versteken achter Dik un Damm? 
Mit Hemmingstcdt un mit de Hamm? 
Wo Hunnert gegen Dusend sla'n? 
Wo Graf un Fürsten ünnergahn? 
Dat lüttje Land 
An'n Holstenstrand, 
Dat is min Heimatland!

Kennst du dat Land 
An'n Holstenstrand, 
Vun Segen rik ut Gottes Hand? 
Wo lustig twischcn Heck un Dorn 
De Wischen grönt un brust dat Korn? 
Wo Lurken singt? -- wo blöht dat Saat? 
Un wo in'n Wold de Ecken staht? 
Dat schöne Land 
An'n Holstenstrand, 
Dat is min Heimatland!

Kennst du dat Land 
An'n Holstenstrand?

Ick füll min Glas bit hoch an'n Rand! 
Und för min best un leevstes Gut 
Drink ick den letzten Drüppen ut! 
Gott's Segen denn veel dusend mal 
Daröwer hin! -- darop hind[?]l! -- 
Hurah! min Land 
An'n Holstenstrand! 
Hurah! min Heimatland!
