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

'n Aven blomkes, moe van spelen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
"'n Aven blomkes, moe van spelen,
gaat Mie douw doen, slaapt ook wel:
morgen, komt u niemand stelen,
herbegint ons kinderspel."
 
"'n Aven hoepels, 'n aven banden;
[groote]1 en kleene kaatsebal:
geeft ... maar kijkt, ge 'n hebt geen handen:
Mie een [kruiske]2 u geven zal."
 
"Aatje-paais, nu altemale:
kruiske, kruiske, Pa en Ma ..."
Mietje, [mochte]3 ik ach uw' tale,
onnavolgbaar, volgen na!
 
Van die kinders 'zeggen' hoorden,
heeft er [een]4 ooit nagezeid
de ongekunstenaarde woorden
van hun' [bloote]5 onnoozelheid?
