by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

As ik wegging
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Du brochst mi bet den Barg tohöch,
De Sünn de sack hendal  -- 
Do säst du sachen, dat war Tid,
Un wennst di mit enmal. 

Do stunn ik dar un seeg opt Holt
Grön inne Abendsünn, 
Denn seeg ik langs den smallen Weg  -- 
Dar gingst du ruhi hin. 

Do wehrst du weg, doch wehr de Thorn
Noch smuck un blank to sehn;
Ik gung de anner Sid hendal  -- 
Dar wehr ik  --  ganz alleen. 

Nöß heff ik öster Afsched nahm'n, 
  --  Gott weet, wa mennimal  -- 
Min hart is wull dar baben blebn,
Süht vun den Barg hendal.
