If my memory serves me correctly, some years ago, we had a
discussion of the use of Platt in America. At that time, I
believe there was a submission of examples of poetry written
by early settlers. On the other hand, it may have been a
link to such poetry.

Does anyone recall this particular thread? If you do, I'd
appreciate hints on how to get back to that material.

Cheers,
Wilf

Moin, Wilf, Lowlanders!

Wilf, it took me a while searching through the old archive (my own copy) and
the new one (http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/lowlands-l.html).  I
think I have found what you are after and am copying it below.

The link (http://www.osu-okmulgee.edu/faculty/carsten/3001.htm) is still
active.  It is also found on our Low Saxon (Low German) links page
(http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/rhahn/lowlands/links_neddersassisch.htm).

For those of you who do not understand the archived posting, it refers to
Carsten Schmidtke's web page with 19th-century American songs in Low Saxon
(Low German) songs -- no not translations from English but songs written by
North German immigrants.  Perhaps someone ought to translate these for those
who are interested but don't understand the language.  The titles (with my
translations):

Uns' niges Vaderland
   (Our New Homeland)
De Dütschen in Amerika
   (Germans in America)
Ik kann nich mehr na Hus!
   (I Can't Return Home!)
Washington-Leed - To sinen Geburtsdag an'n 22. Fewerwar 1876
   (Washington Song - For his Birthday on February 22, 1876)
As de oldenborger Pär na Chicago kemen
   (When the Oldenburg Horses Came to Chicago)
Plattdütsch in Chicago
   (Low German in Chicago)

Best regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Dear Lowlanders,

Hans-Ju"rgen Paape sent me a courtesy copy of a letter.  You will find it
below.  Hoping that some of you on this list are able to help, I am taking
the liberty of passing it on to you.  I have read the American songs in
Low Saxon before, but I am not aware of there being any published music
for them.  Radio Bremen (or is it Hans-Ju"rgen personally?) wishes to
assist folks with their emigrants' museum project in Bremerhaven, and
these songs could be performed in the opening ceremony, also possibly
broadcast on Radio Bremen.  Personally too, I would very much welcome any
news about this.

Thanks and best regards,

Reinhard/Ron
