Virago
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Dat handhaaft de vorke, dat handhaaft de koe: dat werkt als de beste van 't boerengedoe; dat bidt, in de kerke; dat wiedt, op het land; dat mint en dat moedert ...! Van herte en van hand, en is er geen vrouwvolk, rechtzinnig gezeid, als, hier in ons Vlanderen, de dorpvaste meid.
