You can get a node-set containing the immediate text node children as

xsl:variable name="t" select="text()"

If you want to output these nodes, concatenated, don't use xsl:value-of
directly, this will only give you the first one. Instead process them all:

xsl:for-each select="$t"
  xsl:value-of select="."
