by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

Wi gingn tosam to Feld, min Hans
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Wi gingn tosam to Feld, min Hans,
Wi gingn tosam to Rau,
Wi seten achtern Disch tosam,
So warn wi old un grau.

Bargop so licht, bargaf so trag,
So menni, menni Jahr --
Un doch, min Hans, noch èbn so leef,
As do in brune Haar.
