Each year Sint-Niklaas selects a child poet.

SAINT NICHOLAS NIGHT
Wild waves play with his steamship
Gladness rolls in the snow
A kind man in red robe
Is back with us again
When all the children sleep
He scatters
To the rhythm of his horse
His joy
Wrapped in yellow, red and green bows
The moon hides behind the trees
And all children
Sing in their sleep
About the steamboat
Of Saint Nicholas
