by Emmanuel Hiel (1834 - 1899)

Ik droomde!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Ik droomde - 't was Lente, de groendende weide,
Die moeder der bloemekens, geuren verspreidde,
Bij 't rijzen der zonne, bij 't murm'len der bronne,
De vogelen zongen van zalige wonne:
	O liefde!

Ik droomde - het meisje, mijn liefken voor dezen,
Ging lachend ter weide de bloemekens lezen;
Ze vlocht z'in een krans door de golvende haren
En scheen me dan gloiend van min te bestaren:
	O liefde!

Ik droomde - 't was Winter, het meisje was henen,
De weide en de bloemekens waren verdwenen,
De vogelen zwegen, bij 't loeien der vlagen,
Daar hoorde ik een stemme zoo siddernd klagen:
	O liefde!
