by Jan Pieter Heije (1809 - 1876)

Verbeidend
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Zoo als de bloemetjes staan in den avond
is mijn harte gesloten;
Zoo als van knopjes dauw overgoten
Hebben mijn tranen gevloten
Waarom zijt ge zoo ver, mijn lief?

Eer ik des avonds mijn neerleg tot rusten
Bid ik dat God di moog' hoeden
Eer ik des morgens ten arbeid kan spoeden
Bid ik dat God di behoede;
Waarom zijt ge zoo ver, mijn lief?
