- AANKOMST VAN SINT NIKOLAAS.
-
-
- Zie, ginds komt de Stoomboot
- Uit Spanje weêr aan;
- Zij brengt ons Sint Niklaas,
- Ik zie hem reeds staan!
- Hoe huppelt zijn paardje
- Het dek op en neêr,
- Hoe waaijen de wimpels
- Al heen en al weêr!
- Zijn knecht staat te lagchen,
- En wenkt ons reeds toe:
- „Wie zoet is krijgt lekkers,
- „Wie stout was—een roê.”
-
-
-
-
-
- PLEGTIGE INTOGT VAN SINT NIKOLAAS.
-
-
- Daar rijdt hij de stad door,
- Op ’t prachtigst gekleed;
- Zijn knecht draagt de geldkist
- O, zie hoe hij zweet.
- Het regent er bloemen,
- Elk jubelt en juicht,
- Terwijl zich Sint Niklaas
- Op ’t vriendelijkst buigt.
- Één echter verschuilt zich,
- En tracht hem te ontvliên,
- ’t Is Willem, een domoor,
- Maar ’t wordt ras gezien.
-
-
-
-
-

- O, gluur door die ruit!
- De Bisschop koopt alles;
- Zijn knecht draagt het uit.

- Wat was ik dan blij!
-
-
-
-
-
- ST. NIKOLAAS IN DEN BOEKWINKEL.
-
-
- Wel hoe! kwam Sint Niklaas
- Zoo waar nu weêr hier,
- Om boekjes te koopen?—
- Dat doet mij pleizier;
- Want zie, dat ’s nog beter
- Dan koek of banket;
- Een boekje met prentjes
- Geeft jaren lang pret.
- O, vond ik er morgen
- Maar een in mijn schoen!
- ’k Gaf hem en zijn knecht dan
- Een hand en een zoen.
-
-

-
-
- O, zie eens naar boven!
- Maar schrik er niet van.
- Wat ziet ge op dien schoorsteen?
- Een paard en een’ man!
- Ja zeker, hij is het!
- Zijn knecht staat er bij;
- Hij gluurt naar beneden,
- Misschien wel naar mij!
- Ik groet u, Sint Niklaas!
- Houd vrij mij in ’t oog,
- Graag kwam ik eens bij u,
- Maar ’t dak is zoo hoog.
-
-
-
-
-
- ST. NIKOLAAS LUISTERT AAN DE DEUR.
-
-
- Wie gluurt daar door ’t reetje?
- De deur is niet digt!
- ’t Is Niklaas, die luistert
- Wat ieder verrigt.
- Wie traag is in ’t leeren,
- Of stout is of boos,
- Sint Niklaas hoort alles,
- Hij luistert altoos!
- Hem kan men niet foppen,
- Geloof mij opregt,
- Wat hij niet gezien heeft,
- Vertelt hem zijn knecht.
-
-
-
-
-
- ST. NIKOLAAS HOUDT BOEK.
-
-
- Sint Niklaas, de Bisschop,
- Schrijft hier in zijn boek,
- Al wat hij gehoord heeft
- Bij ’t jaarlijksch bezoek.
- Wie zoet was of stout was,
- Hij voegt het er bij;
- Wat zou hij wel schrijven
- Van u en van mij?—
- O, vraag het zijn knecht eens,
- Die maakt toch dit jaar.
- Voor al, wie niet stout was,
- De zakjes weêr klaar.
-
-
-
-
-
- ST. NIKOLAAS OP STROOIAVOND.
-
-
- Het leeft in den schoorsteen,
- Hoor, hoor dat geraas!
- Hoe rollen hier de app’len,
- ’t Is vast Sint Niklaas!
- Maar neen... ’t Is zijn knechtje,
- Dat zwart is van kleur;
- Want ginds staat de Bisschop,
- Voor de opene deur.
- Zing spoedig een liedje,
- Zie, zie, hoe hij gooit!
- Hoe harder wij zingen,
- Hoe ruimer hij strooit.

- Wie grijpt mij bij ’t oor?
- O wee! ’t is Sint Niklaas,

- Dan kreeg ik toch iets!
- Elk krijgt wat van avond,
- Maar ik, helaas niets!

- En rijklijk verdiend.
- Hij straft niet graag kindren,
- Maar is hun een vriend.
- O Bisschop! vergeef hun
- Deez’ enkelen keer,
- Schenk, schenk hun genade,
- Zij doen het nooit weêr!
-
-
-
-
-
- ST. NIKOLAAS VERTREKT.
-
-
- Sint Niklaas vertrekt weêr!
- Gebruik slechts uw oog,
- Daar stijgt hij op ’t paardje
- Per Luchtbal omhoog.
- Zijn knecht zit in ’t schuitje,
- Maar rilt als een blad;
- ’k Wed dat hij veel liever
- In ’t Stoomschip weer zat!
- De Bisschop lacht hartlijk,
- En vreest geen gevaar;
- Maar groet nog zijn vriendjes,
- Tot ’t volgende jaar.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
