THE DUTCH The Dutch took Holland years ago With bold, heroic bravery. And ever since have ruled It well, For freedom, not for slavery; And later on they Hudson sent To unknown lands exploring. v And soon he took Manhattan isle And found 'the place alluring. Then up and down the Shatemuc On Half Moon sailed at leisure. And "found the land quite fair to see. Which gave him joy and pleasure. And when at last he reached his home To tell his deeds of daring They toasted him with Schiedam schnapps And then began the swearing. They dammed the Maas and dammed the Rhine And dammed the Zuyder Zee Until the air around was blue As such damp air could be. Then they began to dig canals And dairi them, too, with dykes,,, , And fish tn them for eels and sprats With trawling nets and fykes. Then windmills built along their banks Of every kind and size To pump up water which leaked out Or rained down from the skies. Holstein cattle then they bought And marked them black and white. So they could see them long ways off In dusky evening's light. And milk the cows each night and morn Beneath the shady trees. Then Bkim the milk and sell the cream And then make Kdam cheese. They raise all kinds of ducks and geese And from them pluck the feather To make those soft and downy beds So warm in wintry weather. They pickle everything in sight Of fish and flesh and fowl, And of the meat of sheep and swine They smoke both hams and jowl. They make ten thousand kinds of cake, - Qf'sugari rruts and »pl<w, . - - ; = And cover them with frost and cream And various kinds of Ice. They are the neatest folks on earth— A truth we’re pleased to utter. Each day they scrub the house and stoop And then they scrub the gutter,* An honest, temperate, frugal race That can’t be praised too much; For, take the people all in all. There’s none can beat the Dutch. —Fitz Nigel, in New York Tribune.
