by Albert Verwey (1865 - 1937)

Vriendelijke ogen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Vriendelijke ogen 
Hebben groot vermogen: 
Als ik aan hen denk 
Schijnt mij hun groeten 
Bij elk ontmoeten
Een klein geschenk.

Vriendelijke ogen 
Hebben groot vermogen: 
Zij zenden vooruit
Als stille boden
Blikken die noden
Tot weerkomst uit.

Vriendelijke ogen 
Hebben groot vermogen: 
Zij tonen klaar
Wat in 't hart verborgen, 
Nog vrij van zorgen, 
Goed is en waar.

Confirmed with Albert Verwey, Het lachende raadsel, Uitgeverij vh. C.A. Mees p.11
