FERSOMMLINGE

 

Fersommlinge is a feast

Celebrated on Candlemas day

In south-eastern Pennsylvania

In the “Fancy Dutch” way

Where in the Groundhog Lodges

Traditional foods are served

In their typically sociable way

Speeches are made and to entertain

They perform g'spiel skits and plays

But only Pennsylvania Dutch is spoken

So, for English there’s a penalty to pay
