by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Tenden raad en tenden reden
Language: French (Français) 
Tenden raad en tenden reden,
vol van angste en pijnlijkheden,
     bidde ik, onbevlekte Maagd:
     voor uw kind nu zorge draagt!

Cana zag u, zonder schromen,
voor twee schaamle tusschenkomen,
     in 't gebrek van bruiloftwijn:
     wilt mij ook indachtig zijn!

Bruiloftwijn, noch bruiloftkoeken,
dat en durve ik u verzoeken;
     maar verleent mij werk en brood,
     anders moet ik morgen dood!

Morgen, neen, gij zult mij heden,
moeder van bermhertigheden,
     laten, - wilt en 't zal geschiên, - 
     u bedanken, op mijn knien!

U bedanken en verkonden
dat gij zijt, op alle stonden,
     alle streken, west of oost,
     schamel' lieden hope en troost!
