Description

The illustration of a poem in Plattdeutsch. A language that is spoken in northern Germany. (First verse)

The Translation:

I wish I were still small, Johann. Since the world was so great.
We sat on the stone Johann, do you remember - at the neighbor's pond.

In the sky float the silent moon, we said, "What he runs!"
And talking, the sky was high, and was the pond so deep!

Klaus Groth

Ah, das wurde auf der Beerdigung von Helmut Schmidt vorgetragen. Sehr schön, sehr rührend. Auch wenn ich als Süddeutsche manchmal raten muss, was dieses und jenes Wort bedeutet.
