The Little Toy Land of the Dutch
Away
'way off 'cross the seas and such,
Lies
the little flat land of the Dutch, Dutch, Dutch,
Where
the green toy meadows stretch off to the sea,
With
a little canal where a fence ought to be.
Where
the windmills' arms go round, round, round,
And
sing to the cows with a creaky sound;
Where
storks live up in the chimney top,
And
wooden shoes pound, plop, plop, plop!
Where
little toy houses stand in a row,
And
dog-carts clattering past them go;
Where
milk cans shine in the shiniest way,
And
the housemaids scrub, scrub, scrub all day;
Where
dykes keep out the raging sea,
And
shut in the land as cosy as can be.
Oh,
that little toy land, I like it much,
that
prim little, trim little, land of the Dutch!

~Family Unit~
- We
studied Dutch as a family during the school year 2002/2003. This
language study was done along with a culture study of The Netherlands.
We didn't study Dutch to become fluent in the language, but to gain an
awareness of the language and to be able to pronounce Dutch words.
It is nice to be able to read books such as Hans Brinker and be able to
say the words correctly. The study of other languages is of great
interest to our family. We hope that by sharing what we have done
others may find joy in undertaking a similar study.
