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

't Meiske, met zijn' teele melk
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
't Meiske, met zijn' teele melk,
op zijn' bloote voetjes,
lang, gelijk [nen terruwstelk]1,
zoetjes, zoetjes, zoetjes
terdt het voort, en anders niet
als zijn teele melk en [ziet't]2.

't Meisken hoorde: '[Goeden dag!]3'
zeggen, zoetjes, zoetjes:
'Mietje!' 't Meisken ommezag ...
Op zijn' bloote voetjes
viel de melk en, vol verdriet,
wie [dat 't was]4 en wist het niet.
 
Meiske, meiske, meiske snel,
op uw' bloote voetjes,
melk aan 't dragen, wacht u wel:
zoetjes, zoetjes, zoetjes,
mijdt u, [meiske]5, en, hoort gij iet,
vóór u, maar niet omme en ziet!
