Leyve Lowlanners,
(English below)

noch eyn' n van dennen Tuunkoynig: weyt' jy ouk, wat hey de eynkelte Vougel
is, dey de heyle Winterstyd lang singen deyht?
In myn Gorden hebb 'ck opp Stynns drey or gänzli' veyr van de lütten,
drolligen Hohnens, un' wenn de Witterung dat tou lett, kannst' meyst jümmer
eyn' van jem hoyrn.

Aff un' an, man recht selten, kannst denn ouk mol dat Roudkehlchen dor mang
ruut hoyrn.

My dycht, dat weyr tou froyhern Tyden anners. Dat hett tou krygen mit de
Waarmst in uns 'neymood'sche' Winters.
....

Just another wren-story: did you know him to be the only bird singing during
all winter?
In my garden there are three or even four of them little 'drolling' cocks at
the moment, and if the weather allows it you at least always can hear one of
them.

Sometimes, but very seldom, you also will hear a robin amongst them.

I think this hasn't been so in the times of my youth. It's a result of the
warmth in our 'new-fashioned' winters.

Greutens/Regards

Johannes "Jonny" Meibohm
