I'm hoping that someone can help with this translation of a PA Dutch
rhyme:
Heilig heilig hinkle drecht,
bis mariyefrieh und alles recht.
Any help you can provide is appreciated!
TIA,
Dave

My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all spoke PA Dutch and I had
heard this from some of them. The only thing I can confirm is the
"hinkle drecht" is chicken dirt, crap, sh*t, whichever you prefer.

I remember this chant that my great grandfather used to comfort or heal people. Hail hail chickens dirt, by tomorrow morning all will be gone.
I am not sure about the Hail hail, but the rest is accurate.
