by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931)

Al is de dach verganghen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Al is de dach verganghen,
betrekt de nacht dat velt
och laet mi noch u prangen
upt hert dat veur u swelt.

Al isset wout so donker
lanx waer ic henemoet,
al licht gheen sterrgheflonker
't is hier bi u so goet.

Och laet bi u mi bliven ,
en dooch mi nevens di.
Ghi cunt dien nacht verdriven
siet ghi maer neer up mi.

Ghi sijt die morghensterre 
ghi sijt de lichte dach !
Blijf mijn, ' t sij nae of verre 
en troost mi met een lach .
