't Is de Mandel, die, in 't stille
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
't Is de Mandel, die, in 't stille, varend door den zomernacht, waakzaam is en, om Gods wille, loopt, en licht voorbij ons lacht: lacht omdat hij blank en blij is, lacht omdat het maantjen schijnt, lacht omdat hij vrank en vrij is, en hij zelf zijn wegen vindt.
