by Isidoor Albert (1846 - 1943)

Avondzang
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
De gouden zonneluister,
Die nog aan ' t westen blinkt,
Het plechtig avondduister ,
Dat over de aarde zinkt,
De duistre, groene lanen,
Het donzig grasfluweel,
Waarop de dauw zijn tranen
Geschreid heeft ; -- ' t zacht gekweel
Der lieve nachtegalen ,
Dat opstijgt uit ' t geboomt ,
En klinkt door veld en dalen
Waar alles rust en droomt, --
Dat alles komt ons fluistren :
« ' t Is ' t zalig uur der min ! »
Mijn liefste en ik , we luistren
En gaan de velden in.

Confirmed with Isidoor Albert, Herfstnevelen, Gent: Hoste, 1894, p.7
