by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931)

Ten blauwen hemel
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Ten blauwen hemel
blinkt duizendvoud de sterre,
belachend, hel en verre,
de loveren groen en frisch !

In diepe wouden
ontelbre bloemen blozen , —
betooverende rozen
die vragen naar een kus !

'k Zie geren't licht der sterren
mij lachend tegenpinken .
'k Zie geren de dauwdrop blinken
op loveren en roos.

Maar ' k gaf wel al de sterren
en al der wouden bloemen,
gij , die ' k niet durve noemen,
voor uwen liefdeblos !
