The Pull of the Poulders

An echo of the hope of the medieval Low Country emigrants to German lands is captured in the text of an old Flemish ballad:

“Naer Oostland willen wy ryden,

Naer Oostland willen wy mee,

Al over die groene heiden,

Frisch over die heiden.

Daer isser een betere stee

Als wy binnen

Oostland komen

Al onder dat hooge huis,

Daer worden wy binnen gelaten,

Frisch over die heiden;

Zy heeten ons willekom zyn.”[xix]
