by Wilhelm Ange François Bastiaanse (1868 - 1947), as Frans Bastiaanse

De Zomer sterft, de linden bruinen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
De Zomer sterft, de linden bruinen,
De boomen welken voor en na,
Van al de bloemen in de tuinen
Bloeit schoonst de roode Dahlia.

Maar van de struiken , zwaar van regen,
Dien, dag aan dag, de lucht vergoot,
Zijn op der paden slijk gezegen
Der rozen blaadren bleek en dood.

O ! Laat maar sterven, laat maar welken,
Mij droeft de dood des Zomers niet,
Daar mij der Liefde Zomer elken
Dag blijder licht de ziel ingiet.
