Up de eensame Hallig
Language: Plattdeutsch
Min Mann is weg,
De See geit holl,
Min Kind is krank,
Keen Minsch to Hülp.
Ick bün alleen.
De Mann is dor,
Dat Kind is dod,
Nu ligt int Huus
De kranke Fru.
Se sünd alleen.
Keen Docter neech,
Keen Minsch to Hülp.
De lüttje Fru
Is bi ehr Kind.
He is alleen.
