by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Blomkes, lieve blomkes zoet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Blomkes, lieve blomkes zoet,
die uw hertjes open doet
bij den eersten morgengroet,
  schittert in mijn zangen; 

Beekske, klappend beekske klaar,
dat uw blanke waterbaar
over 't zand laat varen, dââr
  vaart ook in mijn zangen;

Hellemende nachtegaal,
gij, gij spreekt de dichtertaal,
laat uw bosschen, komt eenmaal
  helmen in mijn zangen;

Windtje, dat op 't water sliert,
of al door de bosschen tiert,
als u God den teugel viert,
  wappert in mijn zangen;

Donder, die al dondren komt,
die in d'holde wolken bromt,
die en mensche en dier verstomt,
  dondert in mijn zangen:

Blomme, beke, nachtegaal,
windenstemme, dondertaal,
blanke bleeke manestraal,
  looft God in mijn zangen!
