by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931)

Och! Ewich es so lanc!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Och ! Ewich es so lanc !
En toch, ic wou, mijn lief,
sijn ewich nevens di,
dijn enich hertengherief !
Sijn ewich nevens di ,
en swemmen in den vloet
van dinre grote minne,
mijn dierbaerst goet !

Och ! Ewich es so lanc,
En toch, sact ghi bi mi,
al wasset noch so lanc
't gone als een pijl voorbi !
En wert dan in mijn hert
dijn hert eens uutghestort ,
al wasset dobbel ewich
' t was noch te cort !

Och! Ewich es so lanc !
Maer di , maer di stets sien,
sou selfs die vreedste smert
van mi doen verre vliên !
Gij sijt mijn heil , mijn lust,
mijn goet, mijn schat , mijn al !
En niets , dit gheve Got !
van di mi sceiden sal.
