by Albert Verwey (1865 - 1937)

Helaas, elk tijdlijk ding vergaat
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Helaas, elk tijdlijk ding vergaat,
De vorm vervalt, het woord
Duurt niet, dort als een blad dat viel -
Wat dan dat staêg bestaat?
 
Ik heb u lief, Leven dat leeft
In elk ding als in mij -
Ik heb u lief die nacht en dag
Door alle wezens beeft.
 
Ik heb u lief die nacht en dag
Oneenbre wezens eent -
Ik heb u lief in wien ik steeds
De Eeuwige Liefde zag.
