by Paul van Ostaijen (1896 - 1928)

Vorst
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Is Vorst
         breken scherp en helder de stenen rijen
         wegen scheuren
Schel schelt de schel
         van de trem in de duizelruimte
         hoge hoepel
         staalhemel   staalhelm
Naar klare spanbanen strammen stappen
         laarzen slaan de straat tot luide ruimte

Is Vorst
         breken stenen scherp
         slaan laarzen klaar
         schellen de schellen schel
         helder

                  helder
                            helder
         duizelruimte luidt
