POETRY.

A great deal of excellent poetry has been written by representatives of
the German element in Brazil. These writers have, however, primarily
used High German as their medium of expression and consequently their
works do not come in consideration in this study of a dialect. On the
other hand, we frequently come across poems where Brazilian German forms
are more or less in evidence. The following, in which the Hunsrück
dialect forms the Germanic basis is presented by way of example.[84]
(Apologies to Goethe!)


_Gutes Geschäft oder eine Pechincha._[85]

Wer reit' lo dorch Storm un Wettergeriesel?
Das is der Schrauber auf seime Isel.
Der Hut is gebunne fest unner dem Kinne,
Der Musterranze bammelt ihm hinne.

"Freund Michel, was machst für ein banges Gesicht?"
