YEn Friesch Herder, to sijn jierren,

Ho elck djier 't grien' gerz yn-slicke,

Buwtte tins wae 't kruwd beschicke,

In fen waem 't fjoer wirde juwn'.

Oorz, petearre 'er, iz 't mey' Minsche,

Dy, omme' hymmel oon to sjean,

Muwlle' in eag op till't, om winsche

In bejear, fen dear, t'ontfean.

Dy kirtte' yerd-seyn' ter-jild achtet

Op it stijckel-smolle paed,

Wolcke' oon luwcket, guw't in wachtet,

Dear mey seag sijn eag ney boppe,

't Ynborst teag, ja fleag, om heag,

In sijn Gaest begoe to roppen

Uwt herts gruwne', uwt fiel'-fjoers leag.
