Wat geeft het, of wij hier of elders sterven? Leven is altijd: naar den dood toe gaan. De haardgebondenen en die verzwerven Vinden één graf aan 't eind van hun bestaan.

In: Avond (1950)3. Het eind van de dag
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
De dag is over en het hele leven is welhaast over en zijn stervenspijn. O nutteloosheid van elk verder streven, want ieder kan ’t uiterste uur eens zijn 't Is tijd voor het strekken van het laatste wapen Er valt niets meer te winnen of te ontvliën Ik denk alleen nog maar, als ik ga slapen: Weer een dag minder, dat ik je zal zien.

4. Rondeau [sung text not yet checked]
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Jannie zoende me, uit de stoel Waar zij in zat opgesprongen. Tijd, jij dief, die elk gevoel Op den duur hebt weggedrongen - Noem mij oud, versleten, kaal, Geef voor alles me onvoldoende, Maar vergeet niet, dat me eenmaal Jannie zoende.
